Mission Pharmacal sponsors documentary tracking the pregnancy experience

SAN ANTONIO — Big Belli on Thursday announced the December 2014 premiere of a documentary called “40 Weeks.” The movie gives viewers a window into the lives of various women and their families as they journey through the weekly milestones of their pregnancies. 

 

“40 Weeks” aims to help women share pregnancy experiences and concerns and access a wealth of health information to help them "Go the Whole 40" (weeks of pregnancy) to ensure the best outcomes for mothers and babies.

 

CitraNatal, a brand of prenatal vitamins, and Dr. Smith’s Premium Blend diaper rash products, are two of the sponsors making “40 Weeks” possible. CitraNatal and Dr. Smith’s brands are manufactured in the United States by Mission Pharmacal Co.

 

“Big Belli’s commitment to providing expectant mothers with critical information to help them have healthier pregnancies mirrors Mission Pharmacal’s commitment to women’s health and pediatric health,” said Nancy Price, senior product manager, CitraNatal, Mission Pharmacal. “Mission provides innovative, science-based products that meet the nutritional needs of women at all stages of pregnancy and an innovative program called 'Join the Family' to support women throughout their pregnancy." The “Join the Family” program delivers information geared to a mother’s specific stage of pregnancy from conception to breastfeeding and offers cost savings on CitraNatal prescription products of up to $300 per year.
