An important, widely used supplement supporting maternal health and healthy pregnancies for women. Confirm the active on the pack.

Directions for Use
Take only as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Commonly one tablet (5mg) once daily, swallowed with water, with or without food. For pregnancy planning, it is ideally started before conception and continued through the early weeks as advised. For anaemia or other uses, take it for the full period your doctor recommends. Take it at the same time each day to help you remember.
Generally very safe and well tolerated. Tell your doctor if you have pernicious anaemia or an undiagnosed anaemia, as folic acid alone can mask a vitamin B12 deficiency that needs separate treatment. Tell your doctor about epilepsy medicines or other treatments, as folate can interact with a few. If you are taking it for a medical condition, do not stop without advice. Store below 30°C in a dry place. This product information is for general guidance only and does not replace professional medical advice.
