Folic acid, in combination with other substances, is used to treat or prevent folate deficiency and related anemias. Folic acid is a water-soluble B-vitamin necessary for DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation. It is widely used in pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects. Folic acid combination products may also include iron or vitamin B12 and are commonly utilized for anemias and during pregnancy. The drug is approved and in use today.
Pharmacokinetic parameters are estimated for healthy adult individuals following single oral administration of folic acid in combination with other hematinics.
