CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1

Folic Acid 0.8 mg tablets are indicated as a daily supplement to be
taken by women planning
pregnancy to reduce the risk of neonatal conditions developing from
foetal neural tube defects.
4.2
DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
DOSE
Approximately 400 micrograms/day of folic acid is considered a
suitable average intake. Body
stores of folate in healthy people have been reported between 5-10mg,
but could be much
higher.
Folate is present, mostly combined with several L(+)-glutamic acid
moieties, in many foods, but
in particular, liver, kidney, yeast, nuts and leafy green vegetables.
Folic acid is readily oxidised
to unavailable forms and is easily destroyed during cooking.
As folic acid is easily absorbed, it can be administered orally with
good results apart from in
exceptionally severe disease or in severe cases of intestinal
malabsorption.
In concomitant therapy with antiepileptic drugs, the daily dose of
folic acid should be reduced
to the lowest effective amount and divided into multiple single doses.
METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Folic acid should not be added to multivitamin preparations as it may
lower concentration of
vitamin B12 in the blood.
