DHA Ingredients & Drug Interactions
by CVS Pharmacy
What is this page for?
First and foremost: checking DHA against your medications. The heart of this page is the interaction checker and the full interaction report — how this product’s ingredients may interact with prescription and over-the-counter medicines you may be taking.
Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy
DHA is a dietary supplement by CVS Pharmacy with 1 active ingredient.We don’t currently list a known drug interaction for its mapped ingredients — but that doesn’t guarantee none exist, so always confirm with your pharmacist.
HelloPharmacist Scorecard of DHA by CVS Pharmacy
Four independent checks of what is known — a summary of the available information, not a grade of the product itself.
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
None of the active ingredients could be matched to our evidence database, so intended use can't be graded.
Why this rating?
- None of the active ingredients could be matched to a HelloPharmacist monograph, so intended use can't be graded against our evidence data.
Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.
Why this rating?
- The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
- No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.
None of the active ingredients could be matched to our interaction database.
Why this rating?
- We couldn't match any ingredient to a HelloPharmacist monograph, so there was nothing to check interactions against.
None of the active ingredients could be matched to our safety data.
Why this rating?
- We couldn't match any ingredient to a HelloPharmacist monograph, so there was no safety data to measure.

General Statements
This exclusive 2-step multivitamin and DHA supplement program also contains extra folic acid to provide improved support for the proper development of your baby's spinal column.
Clinical studies have shown that taking 200mg of DHA during pregnancy and while nursing a child can provide significant benefits for improving the development of brain and eye function. In fact, many doctors specifically recommended that pregnant women and nursing mothers take a multivitamin and consume 200mg of DHA per day to help their baby develop during these important times.

2 STEP PROGRAM
The Importance of DHA Some studies suggest that increasing dietary intake of DHA plays an important role for both Mom and the developing child: - DHA is important for healthy visual and mental development throughout infancy, yet developing infants cannot produce optimal levels of DHA on their own. - Rapid brain growth occurs during the second half of pregnancy and continues throughout the first years of life. Infants have the greatest need for DHA during this time. - Some studies suggest that increasing dietary intake of DHA during pregnancy and beyond may help to support a mother's emotional well-being after birth.
Helps support brain & eye development - Helps support fetal spinal column development
