Folic Acid

Folic acid prescription tablets are a form of vitamin B9 used to treat or prevent folate deficiency, which can lead to anemia and other health complications. They are commonly prescribed for individuals with poor dietary intake, malabsorption conditions, or increased folate needs, such as during pregnancy. Folic acid plays a crucial role in red blood cell production, DNA synthesis, and fetal development. It is also used to reduce the risk of neural tube defects in newborns and may help lower homocysteine levels, which are linked to heart disease.
