Elevit Pre-conception Use In Pregnancy & Lactation

Pregnancy: Chronic overdose of vitamin D might be harmful to the fetus.
An overdose of vitamin D must be avoided as permanent hypercalcaemia can lead to physical and mental retardation, supravalvular, aortic stenosis and retinopathy in the child.
In animals, overdoses of vitamin D during pregnancy have been shown to have teratogenic effects. There is no evidence that vitamin D at the recommended dose is teratogenic in humans.
During pregnancy and lactation the daily intake should not exceed 2500 mg calcium, and 4000 IU (100 μg) vitamin D, Elevit Pre-conception does contain 125 mg Calcium and 1000 IU Vitamin D.
Intake of food rich in vitamin D and intake of fortified foods and drinks, which may contain high levels of this vitamins, must be taken into account.
General remark: Adequate maternal micronutrient status is especially critical during pregnancy and the requirements for most micronutrients are higher in these periods. A complete multivitamin product containing folic acid, vitamin D, as well as of the other ingredients can thus be used during pregnancy and lactation to ensure sufficient micronutrient intakes.
Lactation: Permanent overdose of vitamin D might be harmful to the neonate.
The vitamins and minerals in this preparation are excreted into breast milk. This must be taken into consideration if the infant is receiving any respective supplements.
Fertility: There are no data on the effect of the medicinal product on fertility.
