About this product
Overview
Keplin 15mg tablet contains L Methylfolate (15mg). It comes as a tablet. The pack contains 2×10's tablet.
L methylfolate is folate in the form the body actually uses, so it does not need the conversion step that ordinary folic acid does. It is prescribed where that conversion is thought to be poor, or where a more readily used form is preferred.
Uses of Keplin 15mg tablet
Keplin 15mg tablet is used for:
- Folate deficiency and the anaemia that follows it
- Support before and during pregnancy
- As an add on in some cases of depression, on medical advice
- Raised homocysteine levels
Side Effects
Like all medicines, Keplin 15mg tablet can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common ones include:
- Nausea or mild stomach upset
- Trouble sleeping in some people
- Irritability, uncommonly
Tell your doctor if a side effect is severe or does not go away.
Precautions
Folate can mask a vitamin B12 deficiency while the nerve damage from it continues, so B12 is usually checked or given alongside. Tell your doctor about any epilepsy medicines you take, as folate can interact with some of them. Pregnancy needs are specific, so follow the amount your doctor has advised rather than switching products on your own.
Tell your doctor about any other medicines or supplements you take, any allergies, and if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.
