Salt Composition:
Folic Acid
Description:
Folvite Tab contains folic acid, which is a synthetic form of folate, a B vitamin (vitamin B9) that is essential for many bodily functions. Folic acid plays a crucial role in DNA synthesis and repair, cell division, and the production of red blood cells. It is particularly important during periods of rapid cell growth, such as pregnancy and infancy.
Folvite Tab is primarily prescribed to treat and prevent folic acid deficiency. Folic acid deficiency can occur due to inadequate dietary intake, malabsorption disorders (such as Crohn’s disease or celiac disease), certain medications (e.g., methotrexate, phenytoin, sulfasalazine), increased demand (e.g., during pregnancy, lactation, periods of rapid growth, or in hemolytic anemias where there is increased red blood cell turnover), and alcoholism.
Symptoms of folic acid deficiency can include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, irritability, shortness of breath, sore tongue, mouth ulcers, and changes in skin, hair, or nails. In severe cases, it can lead to megaloblastic anemia, a condition characterized by large, abnormal red blood cells that are not able to carry oxygen effectively
