About this item
Folic Acid 5 mg (28 Tablets) provides a potent, therapeutic dose of Vitamin B9 (folic acid/folate). Folic acid is essential for the body's processes involving cell division, growth, and the synthesis of DNA and RNA. This high-dose prescription strength is used to quickly correct deficiencies and to provide maximum protection in specific high-risk clinical scenarios, such as preventing neural tube defects (NTDs) in women who have previously had an affected pregnancy or have certain medical conditions.

Contraindications of Folic Acid 5 mg Tablets
- Known Allergies: Do NOT take if you have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to Folic Acid or any other ingredients.
- Untreated B12 Deficiency: Do NOT take if you have untreated pernicious anaemia or other B12 deficiency states, as it can mask the symptoms.
Side Effects of Folic Acid 5 mg Tablets
- Common Side Effects (Rare and Mild): Gastrointestinal upset (nausea, loss of appetite, bloating), flatulence.
- Serious but Rare Side Effects (That May Require Medical Attention): Allergic reaction (rash, itching, redness, or difficulty breathing). If this occurs, stop use immediately and seek medical attention.
Precautions and Warnings of Folic Acid 5 mg Tablets
- B12 Status: Ensure B12 deficiency has been ruled out or is being treated concurrently before starting Folic Acid therapy.
- Drug Interactions: Consult a doctor or pharmacist if you are taking anti-epileptic drugs (e.g., phenytoin, phenobarbital), as Folic Acid can sometimes affect the levels of these drugs. Conversely, some drugs can affect folate levels.
Cancer Risk (High Doses): Long-term, unnecessary use of very high doses may require cautious monitoring.
