NEOPHARM NEOPHOLIC folic acid 0.4mg x 90 tabl
NEOPHOLIC is a preparation containing 0.4 mg of folic acid, which is specially designed for pregnant women and women planning pregnancy.
Folic acid is involved in the construction of all new cells in the body. This is important both for the woman's body and for the future baby.
If there is a sufficient amount of folic acid in the body of the future mother, this can prevent the appearance of birth defects of the spine and brain of the newborn - spina bifida.
On the other hand, folic acid also affects the health of the woman herself. The formation of new, healthy cells with the participation of folic acid is a process of particular importance for heart activity, skin regeneration, nail and hair growth. Lack of folic acid also causes disorders in the formation of red blood cells - erythrocytes, which clinically manifests as anemia. Therefore, folic acid is recommended for every woman, every day, regardless of whether she is planning a pregnancy.
Do not take NEOPHOLIC if:
- you have ever had an allergic reaction to folic acid or any of the other ingredients of the tablet. The most common symptoms of an allergic reaction include rashes, itching, swelling of the lips and face, shortness of breath. Consult your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.
Consult your doctor if:
- you were born with spina bifida
- you have had a previous abnormal pregnancy, as a result of which your child was born with spina bifida or another congenital neural tube defect.
- suffer from epilepsy treated with phenobarbital, phenytoin or pyrimidone.
- you take drugs that suppress the metabolism of folic acid - methotrexate, trimethoprim or reduce absorption in the gastrointestinal tract - contraceptives, anticonvulsants.
- you have had a small bowel resection surgery.
These conditions require taking higher doses of folic acid.
The body's daily requirement of folic acid is 0.2 mg (200 mcg). During pregnancy, this need increases. The dose of 0.4 mg is confirmed in world practice as a sufficient daily dose to compensate for the increased needs of a pregnant woman from folic acid. Unless otherwise prescribed by your doctor, take 1 NEOPHOLIC tablet daily. Don't miss a daily appointment.
To avoid missing your daily dose, make taking NEOPHOLIC a part of your daily routine, just as you brush your teeth, walk the dog, drink your morning coffee, take a shower or brush your hair.
