Description
Folic acid 5mg is used for preventing and treating low blood levels of folate (folate deficiency) as well as its complications including “tired blood” (anemia) and the inability of the bowel to absorb nutrients properly. Available at Rangechem pharmacies countrywide, or on delivery on order.
During early development, folic acid helps form the neural tube. Folic acid is very important because it can help prevent some major birth defects of the baby’s brain (anencephaly) and spine (spina bifida).
Folic Acid 5mg is beneficial for:
- For the treatment of folate-deficient megaloblastic anaemia due to malnutrition, malabsorption syndromes (such as coeliac disease or sprue) and increased utilisation as in pregnancy. It should not be used alone in undiagnosed megaloblastic anaemia including in infancy, pernicious anaemia or macrocytic anaemia of unknown aetiology, unless administered with adequate amounts of hydroxocobalamin.
- For the prophylaxis of drug induced folate deficiency e.g. caused by administration of phenytoin, phenobarbital and primidone.
- For the prophylaxis against folate deficiency in chronic haemolytic states or in renal dialysis. 4. For the prevention of neural tube defects for woman planning a pregnancy and known to be at risk.
