Indications & Usage
TRICON™ is a multifactor preparation effective in the treatment of anemias that respond to oral hematinics, including pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias and also irondeficiency anemia. Therapeutic quantities of hematopoietic factors that are known to be important are present in the recommended daily dose.
Dosage & Administration
One capsule twice a day. (Two capsules daily produce a standard response in the average uncomplicated case of pernicious anemia.)
Warnings & Precautions
No warnings available yet.
Contraindications
Hemochromatosis and hemosiderosis are contraindications to iron therapy.
Adverse Reactions
Rarely, iron in therapeutic doses produces gastrointestinal reactions, such as diarrhea or constipation. Reducing the dose and administering it with meals will minimize these effects in the iron-sensitive patient. In extremely rare instances, skin rash suggesting allergy has been noted following the oral administration of liver-stomach material. Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folic acid.
