General information about folic acid

Folic acid is a manufactured form of vitamin B9, also called folate. It is used to treat folate deficiency anaemia and is recommended during pregnancy to support early development. Some people need a higher prescribed amount than others. A 5 mg tablet should not automatically be chosen as a routine pregnancy supplement.

Follad 5 mg: precautions and suitability

Ask your doctor, pharmacist or maternity care team which strength is appropriate. Tell them about other medicines, particularly epilepsy treatment, and any medical conditions. Folic acid may be unsuitable when vitamin B12 deficiency or pernicious anaemia is present without the correct assessment.

Possible side effects include bloating, nausea or reduced appetite. Discuss persistent effects with a healthcare professional. Seek urgent medical help for swelling of the face, tongue or throat, or breathing difficulty, as these may signal a serious allergic reaction.
