Folneed

Generic

Folic Acid + Zinc Sulfate Monohydrate

Indications

This tablet is for the treatment and prevention of Folic Acid and Zinc deficiency.

Pharmacology

When using Azelastine and Fluticasone Nasal Spray, do not engage in hazardous occupations that need complete mental attention, such as driving or operating machinery. Concurrent use of this Nasal Spray with alcohol or other central nervous system (CNS) depressants should be avoided to avoid further decreased alertness and CNS impairment. In susceptible people, hypercorticism and adrenal suppression may occur at very high doses or at the standard dose. If these changes occur, the spray should be gradually phased off. It is also involved in the conversion of certain amino acids. Megaloblastic anemia develops when nutritional intake is insufficient, as in starvation, from malabsorption, from increased usage, as in pregnancy, of disorders such as haemolytic anemia, and as a result of folate antagonist delivery.

Dosage and Administration

Orally 1 tablet daily or as directed by the physician.
