1. What is Folidex and what is it used for
Folic acid is a vitamin that is needed for the renewal of body cells. You need a regular supply of folic acid to stay healthy.
In particular, women who are planning a pregnancy and pregnant women need an adequate supply of folic acid for the development of the baby.
Folidex is useful in the prevention of neural tube defects such as Spina Bifida
(a rare malformation of the caudal part of the spinal column that can lead to herniation of the
spinal cord, fecal and urinary incontinence and deficits in movement and sensation of the lower limbs).
2. What you need to know before taking Folidex
Do not take Folidex
- if you are allergic to folic acid or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
- if you have a tumor
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before taking Folidex.
- if you are a woman who has previously had pregnancies (completed or not) in which neural tube defects have already been observed;
- if you are a woman being treated with antiepileptic drugs: carbamazepine or valproic acid;
- if you are a woman with a family history of neural tube defects;
- if you are a woman being treated with folic acid antagonists (methotrexate, sulfasalazine)
- if you suffer from pernicious anemia. In fact, folic acid may make the
diagnosis of pernicious anemia more difficult by reducing the hematological manifestations of this
disease, but cannot counteract the progression of its neurological complications
In all these cases you may need to take a higher dose of folic acid than that
contained in a Folidex tablet.
Other medicines and Folidex
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might
take any of the following medicines: antiepileptics, folic acid antagonists
(methotrexate, sulfasalazine) and chloramphenicol.
Folidex contains lactose
If your doctor has told you that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor
before taking Folidex.
Folidex contains sodium
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per tablet, i.e.
essentially ‘sodium-free’.
3. How to take Folidex
Take this medicine following the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist exactly as given. If you have doubts, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
The recommended dose is one tablet a day from when pregnancy is planned until the 12th week of gestation.
The tablet should be taken regularly before meals.
This dose is not adequate if you have previously had pregnancies in which neural tube defects have already been observed.
If you take more Folidex than you should
Even much higher doses than those contained in Folidex should not cause harm
to your health.
If you have any doubts about the use of this medicine, consult your doctor.
4. Possible side effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
The most common side effects, which however occur rarely (appearing in more than 1 in 10,000
patients but in less than 1 in 1000, are allergic reactions: erythema, pruritus and urticaria.
Frequency not known (frequency cannot be estimated based on available data): severe
allergic reaction (anaphylactic reaction).
At doses higher than those contained in Folidex, gastrointestinal disorders (nausea,
