Folic Acid

Active pharmaceutical substance formulated in Jan Aushadhi generic products for Supplement treatment.

🧴 Clinical Application

Neural tube defect prophylaxis: Take 5 mg orally once daily starting at least 1 month prior to conception and continuing through the first trimester of pregnancy with water. Megaloblastic anemia: 5 mg daily for 4 months. Depression adjunct: L-methylfolate 7.5 mg to 15 mg once daily.

⚠️ Side Effects

Extremely safe. Rare: Mild gastrointestinal distress, sleep disturbances at high doses.

🛡️ Safety Warnings

Over-The-Counter essential vitamin. High doses of folic acid (>1 mg daily) can mask the hematologic manifestations of Vitamin B12 deficiency (pernicious anemia) while allowing catastrophic irreversible neurological degeneration (subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord) to progress; rule out B12 deficiency before treating megaloblastic anemia.
