Side effects :
  • Like all medicines, this can cause side effects, although not everyone gets them.
    • The evaluation of side effects is based on the following frequency information:
      • very common: more than 1 in 10 people treated
      • Common: less than 1 in 10 but more than 1 in 100 people treated
      • uncommon: less than 1 in 100 but more than 1 in 1000 people treated

Interactions :

    • The administration of folic acid can lower the blood levels of antiseizure drugs (anticonvulsants, e.g. phenytoin, phenobarbital, primidone) and thereby possibly increase the likelihood of seizures.
    • When high doses are administered, it cannot be ruled out that the medicinal product and simultaneously administered folic acid inhibitors (folic acid antagonists), e.g. B. certain drugs against bacterial infections or malaria (trimethoprim, proguanil, pyrimethamine) and methotrexate (active ingredient for the treatment of tumors, among other things) mutually inhibit their effect.
    • Severe diarrhea can occur if used at the same time as fluorouracil (medicine used to treat tumours).
    • Chloramphenicol (active substance used to treat infections) can prevent the response to treatment with the medicine and should therefore not be given to patients with severe folic acid deficiency.
Contraindications :
  • The drug must not be taken
    • if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to folic acid or any of the other ingredients of the medicine.
    • The increase in young red blood cells (reticulocytes) caused by folic acid can mask vitamin B12 deficiency. Because of the risk of irreversible neurological disorders, before treating anemia due to impaired development of the red blood cells (megaloblastic anemia), it must be ensured that this is not due to a vitamin B12 deficiency. The cause of megaloblastic anemia must be clarified before starting therapy.
Pregnancy and lactation :
  • pregnancy and breast feeding period
    • There are no known risks up to a daily dose of 5 mg.
    • There is not enough experience with the use of a daily dose of more than 5 mg folic acid during pregnancy, so the maximum daily dose of 5 mg folic acid should not be exceeded.
    • Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicine.
Patient Notes :
  • Special care is required when taking the drug
    • Even in the case of life-threatening megaloblastic anemia, a possible vitamin B12 deficiency must be ruled out before the start of therapy (serum and erythrocyte samples and determination of the vitamin B12 content) due to the risk of permanent damage to the nervous system.
    • There is not enough experience with the use of a daily dose of more than 5 mg folic acid during pregnancy, so the maximum daily dose of 5 mg folic acid should not be exceeded.
