Our assessment
The evidence shows that Amneal Pharmaceuticals Prenatal Plus Vitamin And Mineral Tablet is a comprehensive prenatal supplement, with calcium as a key ingredient. Based on the data provided, calcium supports bone health and nerve function, which are critical during pregnancy [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization to build strong bones for you and your baby, and it aids neuromuscular relaxation, which helps with muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for specific side effects of this product. However, FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Take this supplement as directed by your healthcare provider. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin. You should talk to your doctor about timing your supplement use separately from these medications [NIH ODS].
