xWhat Is Adfolic Tablets?
Adfolic Tablets 300mcg from PharmEvo contain Quatrefolic, a stabilised, bioactive form of folate (vitamin B9). It is a non-prescription dietary supplement used to prevent and treat folic acid deficiency.
How It Works
Quatrefolic is the glucosamine salt of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, the biologically active form the body normally converts folic acid into. Because it is already in this active form, it is readily available to support the conversion of homocysteine to methionine and to take part in the biosynthesis of DNA and important amino acids, without relying on the enzyme conversion step that folic acid itself requires.
Uses & Dosage
Adfolic is commonly recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding, including for the prevention of neural tube defects in babies, as a general dietary supplement for adults and older adults, and for people with folate deficiency caused by certain medicines or health conditions. The usual dose for adults aged 19 and over is 400mcg per day, or as directed by a physician; dosing for children varies by age.
Side Effects
Folic acid supplements are generally well tolerated. Uncommon side effects include mild nausea, bloating, or, rarely, an allergic reaction such as rash or itching.
Precautions
Folic acid should not be given alone to treat vitamin B12 deficiency-related anaemia, as it can mask the underlying deficiency while nerve damage continues to progress. Anyone with a suspected B12 deficiency, or with a seizure disorder, should consult their doctor before starting a folic acid supplement.
