Elfolate 400m Tablet

Elfolate 400m Tablet contains L-Methylfolate as its active ingredient. L-Methylfolate is the active form of folate (Vitamin B9) that is essential for various bodily functions, including DNA synthesis, cell division, and the production of red blood cells. It is particularly important during pregnancy for fetal development and in individuals with certain medical conditions affecting folate metabolism.

Uses:

Elfolate 400m Tablet is prescribed to treat and prevent folate deficiency, a condition characterized by low levels of folate in the body. Folate deficiency can lead to anemia, birth defects, cardiovascular disease, and other health problems. Supplementation with L-Methylfolate helps restore folate levels and supports overall health and well-being.

Dosage:

The dosage of Elfolate 400m Tablet is determined based on the severity of the folate deficiency and individual patient characteristics. It is typically taken orally, with water, as directed by a healthcare professional. The recommended dosage may vary depending on age, gender, and specific health conditions.

Side Effects:

Common side effects associated with Elfolate 400m Tablet may include gastrointestinal discomfort, such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. These side effects are usually mild and transient. However, patients should seek medical attention if they experience severe adverse effects or allergic reactions.

Precautions:

Before using Elfolate 400m Tablet, individuals should inform their healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, or medications they are currently taking. It is important to use caution in patients with certain medical conditions affecting folate metabolism or those taking medications that may interact with L-Methylfolate.

When Not to Use:

Elfolate 400m Tablet should not be used in patients with a known hypersensitivity to L-Methylfolate or any other components of the medication. It is also contraindicated in individuals with untreated vitamin B12 deficiency or pernicious anemia, as supplementation with folate may mask underlying vitamin B12 deficiency.
