Usage:
Treatment of macrocytic (folate deficiency) anemia.
Treatment of folic acid deficiency:
- a) with malabsorption syndrome (non-tropical and tropical sprue; celiac disease if it is impossible to follow a gluten-free diet);
- b) in case of impaired absorption of folic acid due to the use of certain medications (anti-epileptic drugs, combined oral contraceptives, cytostatics), in case of liver diseases and insufficient consumption of folic acid (for example, alcohol dependence, malnutrition);
- c) with increased excretion of folic acid (for example, alcoholism, hemolytic conditions).
In pregnant women, to prevent the development of defects in the formation of the neural tube in the fetus.
Vitamin B12 levels should be determined in all megaloblastic conditions.
Contraindications:
Hypersensitivity to the components of the drug.
Pernicious anemia and other conditions associated with vitamin B12 deficiency.
Malignant neoplasms (unless megaloblastic anemia due to folic acid deficiency is a serious complication).
Dosage:
Inside. Before eating. It is allowed to crush the tablet before taking it for children and people who have difficulty swallowing.
Adults (including the elderly):
For drug-induced folic acid deficiency – 5 mg per day for 4 months; for malabsorption – up to 15 mg daily can be used.
For the prevention of anemia in chronic hemolytic status: 5 mg every 1 to 7 days, depending on exacerbations of the disease.
Children with hemolytic anemia and metabolic disorders
In children under 4 years of age, it is allowed to use tablets in pre-crushed form in powder form. Doses of folic acid in children are: at the age of up to 1 year, 0.5 mg/kg (½ tablet per 1 kg of weight) once a day, but not more than 5 mg/day, at the age of 1 to 12 years – 2, 5 – 5 mg/day; over 12 years old – 5 – 10 mg/day 1 time per day.
For the treatment of macrocytic (folate deficiency) anemia, the following is prescribed: for adults and children of any age, the initial dose is up to 1 mg/day (1 tablet). Daily doses of more than 1 mg do not enhance the hematological effect, and most of the excess folic acid is excreted unchanged in the urine. In resistant cases, higher doses may be required. Initial doses are administered for approximately 14 days or until hematologic and clinical response is achieved, then maintenance treatment is initiated. The total duration of therapy can be about 4 months.
