View company portfolio →What Folic - CP (Folic acid) is used for
Folic acid is a man-made form of folate, also called vitamin B9. The body needs it to make and maintain new cells, including red blood cells. It is taken as a medicine or supplement as tablets or liquid. Some types are on prescription and lower-strength types can be bought from pharmacies and shops.
- Treating and preventing folate deficiency anaemia (low red blood cells caused by too little folate)
- Helping a baby's brain, skull and spinal cord develop in pregnancy, which lowers the risk of conditions such as spina bifida
- Anaemia caused by certain medicines or by damaged red blood cells
- Replacing folate lost during kidney dialysis
- Reducing the side effects of methotrexate, a medicine used for severe arthritis, Crohn's disease or psoriasis (only when your specialist prescribes it)
Get medical help straight away if
- Call an ambulance or go to the emergency department for signs of a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis): swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, a raised itchy rash, wheezing, tight throat or chest, or trouble breathing or swallowing.
- Get urgent help for shock-like signs such as dizziness, weakness or fainting.
- Call NHS 111 (or your local emergency number) if you think you are having a serious side effect.
- Get help straight away if you have swallowed more than you were prescribed or advised. Taking too many multivitamin tablets can be dangerous. Take the packet or leaflet with you, and do not drive yourself if you are sent to hospital.
