Folic Acid 5 mg 20 tablets Mylan Viatris

Description:

• Macrocytic anemias due to folic acid deficiency.
• Chronic disorders of intestinal absorption whatever their origin.
• Intake deficiencies: malnutrition, ethylism.
• Pregnancy, in case of proven deficiency.
• In women who have already had children with neural tube defects (spina bifida), some authors have found that periconceptional folic supplementation of 5 mg per day in the month before and 3 months after conception reduced the recurrence of malformative risk in subsequent pregnancies.

Nevertheless, ante-natal diagnosis for this type of malformation remains essential.
