- Precautions
General: Do not exceed recommended dose. The type of anemia and the underlying cause or causes should be determined before starting therapy with Corvita 150. Since the anemia may be a result of a systemic disturbance, such as recurrent blood loss, the underlying cause or causes should be corrected, if possible.
- Precautions re: Allergies
- Folic Acid: Folic acid alone is an improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where vitamin B12 is deficient. Folic acid in doses above 0.1 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia in that hematologic remission can occur while neurologic manifestations remain progressive. Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folic acid.
