Used for:

• Prevention and Treatment of Folate Deficiency: Folic acid is used to prevent and treat low blood levels of folate, which can lead to anemia and other health issues.
  
• Support During Pregnancy: Adequate folic acid intake during pregnancy reduces the risk of neural tube defects in the developing fetus.
• Management of Hyperhomocysteinemia: Folic acid helps lower elevated homocysteine levels in the blood, which is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Side Effects: Folic acid is generally well-tolerated, but some individuals may experience:

• Nausea
• Loss of appetite
• Bloating or gas
• Bitter or unpleasant taste in the mouth
• Sleep disturbances

Rarely, allergic reactions such as skin rash, itching, redness, or difficulty breathing may occur. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of a severe allergic reaction. 

Precautions:

• Medical Conditions: Inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of anemia (especially pernicious anemia), epilepsy, or any other medical conditions.
• Medication Interactions: Folic acid can interact with certain medications, including anticonvulsants, methotrexate, and some antibiotics. Consult your doctor or pharmacist about potential interactions.
  
• Dosage: Adhere to the recommended dosage prescribed by your healthcare provider. Excessive intake of folic acid may mask symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency and could lead to other health issues.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Adequate folic acid intake is crucial during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Discuss your specific needs with your healthcare provider.
