Product Description
Product Name: Nutrifactor Folic Acid Tablet 400mg
Product Form: Tablets
Pack Size: 60s
Manufactured By: Nutrifactor
Used For:
Nutrifactor Folic Acid Tablets are designed to provide a supplemental dose of folic acid (vitamin B9), which is essential for various bodily functions, including:
- Cell Division and Growth: Folic acid is crucial for the production of DNA and RNA, and is especially important during periods of rapid growth such as pregnancy and infancy.
- Prevention of Neural Tube Defects: Adequate folic acid intake is vital for pregnant women to help prevent neural tube defects (NTDs) in the developing fetus.
- Red Blood Cell Formation: Folic acid aids in the production of red blood cells and can help prevent anemia.
- Heart Health: It helps lower homocysteine levels, which is associated with cardiovascular health.
Side Effects:
Common side effects of folic acid are generally mild and may include:
- Nausea
- Bloating
- Gas
- Sleep disturbances
Rare but serious side effects may include:
- Allergic reactions (e.g., rash, itching, swelling)
- Seizures (in individuals with a history of seizures)
Precautions:
- Pregnancy: Folic acid is crucial during pregnancy; consult your healthcare provider for the appropriate dosage.
- Vitamin B12 Deficiency: High doses of folic acid can mask symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency. If you have a known vitamin B12 deficiency, speak with your healthcare provider before taking folic acid supplements.
- Medication Interactions: Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or other supplements you are taking, as folic acid may interact with certain medications (e.g., methotrexate).
Always follow the recommended dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider or as indicated on the product label. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, seek medical attention promptly. A balanced diet rich in folate-rich foods (like leafy greens, beans, and fortified cereals) is also important for maintaining adequate folate levels.
