Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Iron toxicity: Severe iron toxicity may occur in overdose, particularly when ingested by children; iron is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children; store out of children's reach and in child-resistant containers. Adult preparations may contain amounts of iron which should not be used in children.
Disease-related concerns:
• Hepatic impairment: Use with caution in patients with severe hepatic impairment.
• Renal impairment: Use with caution in patients with severe renal impairment.
Dosage form specific issues:
• Ethanol: Adult preparations may contain amounts of ethanol which should not be used in children.
• Phenylalanine: Some products may contain phenylalanine.
Other warnings/precautions:
• RDA values: Are not requirements, but are recommended daily intakes of certain essential nutrients.
• Laboratory test interference: Biotin in blood or other samples taken from patients who are ingesting high levels of biotin from dietary supplements (including multivitamins; prenatal multivitamins; biotin supplements; and dietary supplements for hair, skin, and nail growth) can cause clinically significant incorrect lab test results. Some testing methods use biotin technology (eg, troponin, hormone tests), using biotin to bind to specific proteins that are measured to detect health conditions. An increase in the number of reported adverse events, including one death, related to biotin interference with lab tests has been reported. If a lab test result does not correspond with a patient's clinical symptoms, biotin interference should be considered as a possible source of error (FDA Safety Communication 2017).
