Generic Name: Folic Acid
Brand Name: Ingafol

This medication description is not meant for treatment prescription without the intervention of a specialist

Common Uses:
Folic acid (also known as vitamin B9 or folacin) and folate (the naturally occurring form), as well as pteroyl-L-glutamic acid and pteroyl-L-glutamate, are forms of the water-soluble vitamin B9. Folic acid is itself not biologically active with its biological importance being due to tetrahydrofolate and other derivatives after its conversion to dihydrofolic acid in the liver.

How to use:
Oral: 5mg 1 to 4 times daily; depending up on the severity of deficiency. Maintenance dosage: Half of the therapeutic dosage.

Warning and Precautions:
Ingafol acid, when administered as a single agent in doses above 0.1 mg daily, may obscure the detection of B12 deficiency. Reduced folates may be less likely than Ingafol acid to mask vitamin B12 deficiency. Folates therapy alone is inadequate for the treatment of B12 deficiency.

Side Effects:
Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of Ingafol acid, as well as possibly the use of other forms of folates - including reduced folates. Paresthesia, somnolence, nausea and headaches have been reported with pyridoxine hydrochloride.

Storage conditions:
Store at controlled room temperature at a range of 15 to 25 degree C in a well closed container. Protect from excess heat, light and moisture
