Hazards and Cautions
As with other supplements, seek professional advice before using if you are under medical supervision or suffer from food allergies.
Food supplements must not replace a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
As Pregnacare® contains vitamin K, if you are taking oral anticoagulants (e.g. warfarin) do not take Pregnacare® except on the advice of a doctor. Vitamin K is not known to specifically interact with the action of aspirin or heparin.
This product contains iron, which if taken in excess, may be harmful to very young children.
