What is the most important information I should know about Complete Formulation Softgels D3000?

Complete Formulation Softgels D3000 Wafers are contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation is contraindicated in those with hypercalcemia or conditions that may lead to hypercalcemia and those who form calcium containing stones are generally advised not to take supplemental calcium. Used together, iron and calcium may inhibit the absorption of iron. Concurrent use of quinolones or tetracyclines with calcium may decrease the absorption of these medications. Folic acid is contraindicated in patients with untreated and uncomplicated pernicious anemia, and in those with anaphylactic sensitivity to folic acid. The use of folic acid doses above one milligram per day may precipitate or exacerbate the neurological damage of vitamin B12 deficiency. High doses of folic acid may result in decreased serum levels of the anticonvulsant drugs: carbamazepine, fosphenytoin, phenytoin, phenobarbital, valproic acid.
