Description
Jamp Folic Acid (Folic Acid) is a vitamin supplement. It is typically used to treat megaloblastic anemia (when the body produces unusually large, structurally abnormal, immature red blood cells) and macrocytic anemia (when the body has overly large red blood cells and not enough normal red blood cells), caused by a deficiency or low levels of folic acid or folate. It may also have other uses.
Additional information
Jamp Folic Acid (Folic Acid) is typically given once daily. However, your doctor or pharmacist may have suggested a different schedule that is more appropriate for you. It can be taken with or without food, and with a full glass of water. Important: Follow the instructions on the label. Do not use more of this product, or more often than prescribed. If you miss a dose, contact your pharmacist. WARNING: Pregnant women are more prone to develop folate deficiency which can lead to complications. All women planning a pregnancy or who may potentially become pregnant should begin folic acid supplementation prior to conception. In case the anemia is caused by a deficiency in vitamin B12, folic acid should not be used alone. When cholestyramine (a cholesterol-lowering medication) and folic acid are administered together, there may be a reduction or delay in the folic acid absorption. Folic acid should be administered at least 1 hour before and 4 hours after cholestyramine. In addition to its desired action, Jamp Folic Acid (Folic Acid) may cause some side effects, notably: It may cause a malaise, slight flushing (skin blushing), redness, itchiness, or skin rash. Contraindications: Hypersensitivity to folic acid or any component of the formulation. Adequate and well-controlled studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus in the first trimester of pregnancy (and there is no evidence of risk in later trimesters). If you're planning a pregnancy, become pregnant, or are breastfeeding, contact your family doctor. A treatment with Jamp Folic Acid (Folic Acid) requires regular monitoring by a doctor. Be sure to see your doctor for all regularly scheduled appointments.Jamp Folic Acid (Folic Acid)
