Pharmacology
In many metabolic systems, the production of a number of coenzymes depends on folitab 5 MG Tablet. It specifically aids in the generation of purine and pyrimidine, which are essential for the creation of blood and its constituent parts.
Dosage & Administration
Interaction
Folic acid therapy may speed up the metabolism of phenytoin in people who are folate-deficient. Sulfasalazine, primidone, para-aminosalicylic acid, and phenytoin can all lower serum folate levels and result in a deficit. Oral contraceptives may also decrease the metabolism of folate, causing depletion, but it's unclear whether this will result in anemia or changes to the megaloblastic follicle.
Folic acid may be counteracted by chloramphenicol when given concurrently, and dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors, such as methotrexate and trimethoprim, may prevent the body from using folic acid.
