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.

Pyridoxine Hydrochloride 10mg, Doxylamine 10mg and Folic Acid 2.5mg Tablets
Folic Acid (5mg, 15mg) and L-Methylfolate Calcium (1mg, 2.8mg, 7.5mg Tablets) is an essential water-soluble B-vitamin and active tetrahydrofolate derivative on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. L-Methylfolate is the active methylated metabolite (5-MTHF) that crosses the blood-brain barrier directly without requiring enzymatic reduction by methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). Transports one-carbon units for purine and thymidylate synthesis, essential for DNA replication, cell division, and homocysteine remethylation. Indicated for prevention of neural tube defects (spina bifida, anencephaly) in pregnancy, treatment of folate deficiency megaloblastic anemia, hyperhomocysteinemia, and adjunctive therapy in depression.
