What is PNV-DHA?
PNV-DHA is a generic prescription prenatal and postnatal multivitamin for women who are pregnant or have just given birth.
Active ingredients in PNV-DHA include vitamin B9 (folate), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B12 (cobalamin), vitamin C, vitamin D, iron, calcium, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids (docosahexaeonoic acid or DHA).
Folate (vitamin B9) is a highly critical nutrient that supports the growth of the fetus's central nervous system. Folate and cobalamin are critical components in the production of red blood cells in both the mother and fetus.
PNV-DHA also includes iron (ferrous fumarate) to prevent iron-deficiency anemia in the mother and support blood growth in the fetus.
Vitamin D and calcium support fetal bone growth.
Omega-3 fatty acids support the growth of a fetus's brain and retina.
PNV-DHA includes a stool softener (docusate) to prevent the side effects of iron supplements, which include hard stools and constipation.
PNV-DHA is taken as softgel once daily under the direction of a licensed medical practitioner.
What are the side effects of PNV-DHA?
Side effects from multivitamins, though rare, include, but are not limited to, constipation, diarrhea, or upset stomach. Allergic reactions to vitamins are very rare, but the inactive ingredients in PNV-DHA may cause an allergic reaction.
Multivitamins with minerals, such as PNV-DHA, taken in large doses can result in side effects from excess iron or calcium intake, such as stomach upset, muscle weakness, stomach bleeding, tooth staining, high blood calcium, or iron poisoning. Always follow the dosage recommended in the instructions or by your prescribing physician.
