Description
Folic acid (Vitamin B9) is a vital B-group vitamin. It is used for the treatment and prevention of anemia caused by folic acid deficiency, as well as for reducing the risk of hereditary malformations in the fetus. It helps prevent folate deficiency during long-term treatment with antagonists such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, primidone, methotrexate, sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, antimalarials, laxatives, and oral contraceptives.
It is recommended during pregnancy, breastfeeding, renal dialysis, and in chronic hemolytic conditions. Folic acid is also beneficial as supportive therapy in depression, anxiety syndromes, cervical dysplasia, male infertility due to reduced spermatogenesis (oligospermia), as well as polyneuritis and polyneuropathies, including those of alcoholic origin.
