Folic Acid 5 Mg 30 Tablets

Folic Acid 5 Mg 30 Tablets

Description:

Folic Acid 5 mg 30 Tablets is a high‑strength folate (vitamin B9) supplement designed to support healthy red blood cell formation, DNA synthesis, and normal cell division. Folic acid is a water‑soluble B‑vitamin that plays a critical role in the production of genetic material and amino acid metabolism, and is especially important in periods of rapid growth such as pregnancy. This product is classified as a dietary supplement and is commonly used to prevent or correct folate deficiency and support overall health under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Prevention and treatment of folic acid (folate) deficiency.
• Adjunct in the management of certain types of megaloblastic anemia due to folate deficiency (as diagnosed by a physician).
• Preconception and prenatal folate support to help reduce the risk of neural tube defects when taken as advised by a healthcare professional.
• Support for individuals with increased folate requirements (e.g., pregnancy, breastfeeding, rapid growth, certain chronic illnesses) as directed by a doctor.
• Supportive therapy in patients on medications that may interfere with folate metabolism, only under medical supervision.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Folic acid (vitamin B9) – 5 mg per tablet.
• Excipients: Other inactive tablet ingredients (such as fillers, binders, and stabilizers) are present but not specified on the available data. Full excipient list is not available.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Adults: Commonly 1 tablet (5 mg) once daily, or as directed by the physician based on the severity of deficiency and clinical condition.
• For pregnancy and preconception use: Dose and duration must be determined by a healthcare professional according to individual needs and local guidelines.
• Tablets should be swallowed whole with a sufficient amount of water. May be taken with or without food, preferably at the same time each day.
• Do not exceed the recommended dose unless advised by your doctor or pharmacist.
• Use in children or in specific medical conditions (e.g., anemia, malabsorption) should only be under strict medical supervision with individualized dosing.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps prevent and correct folate deficiency, supporting normal red blood cell formation and reducing the risk of certain megaloblastic anemias.
• Supports proper DNA synthesis and cell division, which is essential for growth, tissue repair, and overall metabolic health.
• Contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism, which may support cardiovascular health when combined with a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
• Provides essential folate support during periods of increased demand such as pregnancy and breastfeeding, as recommended by healthcare professionals.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Do not use this product if you are allergic to folic acid or any of the tablet ingredients.
• High doses of folic acid may mask vitamin B12 deficiency and its neurological complications; long‑term use of high‑dose folic acid should be monitored by a doctor.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of pernicious anemia or other vitamin B12 deficiency states; appropriate diagnostic tests should be performed before starting therapy.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications (such as antiepileptics, methotrexate, or other antifolate drugs), or if you have medical conditions including anemia of unknown cause, kidney disease, or malabsorption syndromes.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• If you experience any unusual symptoms, worsening fatigue, neurological complaints (numbness, tingling, balance problems), or allergic reactions, stop use and seek medical advice.

Side Effects:

• Folic acid is generally well tolerated at recommended doses. Possible side effects may include gastrointestinal discomfort such as nausea, bloating, or loss of appetite.
• Rarely, hypersensitivity reactions such as skin rash, itching, or redness may occur. Discontinue use and seek medical attention if signs of allergy appear.
