Folic Acid 400μg (0.4mg) Tablets

WHAT FOLIC ACID TABLETS ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE USED FOR

Folic acid is a member of the Vitamin B group it is the active ingredient of Folic Acid Tablets. It is essential for good health and is present in fresh and processed foods.
You should use this medicines if you are trying to become pregnant or think you are pregnant and also for the first three months of your pregnancy.
Folic Acid is necessary for the development and growth of healthy cells and tissues. It is vital for the development and proper function of the central nervous system.
Folic acid is used to help prevent babies being born with neural tube defects such as Spina Bifida. The neural tube is part of the nervous system and is located in the spine.
The baby’s neural tube develops during the early stages of pregnancy and it is at this particular critical stage that neural tube defects such as Spina Bifida can occur.

We have a lot more information about planning a pregnancy and trying to conceive which you may find very helpful.

HOW TO TAKE FOLIC ACID TABLETS

The recommended dose is one tablet (400 micrograms) daily. The tablet should be swallowed with water.

You should begin taking this medicine before you become pregnant or if you think you are pregnant and continue taking it for at least the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
