• Difficulty breathing (rare, but requires immediate medical attention)

Precautions:

• Allergy: Inform your doctor if you have any allergies to folic acid or other supplements.
• Medical Conditions: Consult your doctor if you have a history of vitamin B12 deficiency, as taking folic acid without correcting B12 deficiency can mask symptoms and lead to nerve damage.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Folic acid is essential during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It is recommended to take folic acid before and during early pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects.
• Drug Interactions: Inform your doctor if you are taking any medications, especially anticonvulsants, methotrexate, or other drugs that interfere with folic acid absorption.
