Folipil 5 MG Tablet 30 contains folic acid (5 mg), which acts on the body as follows:

• Provides Bioavailable Folate: Folic acid offers a readily usable form of folate that doesn't need extensive metabolism to be functional within the body.
• Converts to Active Folate: Once absorbed, folic acid changes into the active form of folate known as tetrahydrofolate (THF).
• Supports Cell Production: THF plays a crucial role in generating DNA, managing amino acids, and producing healthy red blood cells.
• Promotes Proper Foetal Development: Adequate folic acid intake is crucial for proper neural tube development in foetuses, reducing the risk of birth defects like spina bifida and anencephaly.

• Keep the Folipil 5 MG Tablet 30 in its original packaging until use.
• Store at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, strong heat, and moisture.
• Keep the medicine out of reach of children.

• If you're dealing with folate deficiency anemia, include more folate-rich foods in your diet such as leafy green vegetables, beans, peas, and nuts.
• For pregnant women taking Folipil 5 MG Tablet 30, maintaining a balanced diet with adequate folic acid intake can help prevent neural tube defects. This can include fortified cereals and whole grains. Always consult your doctor for individual dietary advice.
