Precautions & Warnings

It should be used with caution in patients who may have folate dependent tumours. It should never be given alone or in conjunction with inadequate amounts of vitamin B12 for the treatment of undiagnosed megaloblastic anaemia. Although folic acid may produce a haematopoietic response in patients with a megaloblastic anaemia due to vitamin B12 deficiency it should not be given alone in vitamin B12 deficiency states as it may precipitate the onset of subacute combined degeneration of the cord. In elderly people a cobalamin absorption test should be done before long term folate. No harmful results found from short courses of folate.
