Expert Advice

Folic Acid is used for the dietary management of patients with special nutritional demands under the supervision of a physician or healthcare provider for insufficient dietary intake. Folic Acid is used to treat folic acid deficiency. Folic Acid is also taken before and during pregnancy to reduce the chance of neural tube abnormalities, which develop in the baby's spinal cord. If you have a history of seizures, your doctor may want to adjust your dosage of anti-seizure medication. Do not drink alcohol when taking Folic Acid, because it may cause you to be sleepier than regular. Please consult your doctor if you are taking any other medications, including those for hypertension, infections, heart disease, or bone diseases. While taking Folic Acid, ensure you are getting enough water in your nutrition. You should notify your doctor if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy, or already breastfeeding. It is important to keep taking Folic Acid even if your symptoms have disappeared. Always follow your doctor's instructions about dosage and duration of treatment.
