This is a water-soluble vitamin that treats and prevents vitamin B9 deficiency, anaemia (lack of red blood cells), neural tube defects, cleft palate (congenital disabilities), anaemia caused by faulty development of red blood cells such as after stomach surgery or during pregnancy, Coeliac disease (the body cannot digest gluten), and tropical and non-tropical Sprue (the gut cannot absorb food).

Elmefol Tablet should only be given to children below 12 years if the doctor clearly specifies it. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side-effects. It is advised to avoid consuming any antacids, dairy products, like tea, or coffee as it may affect the action of Elmefol Tablet . Inform your doctor if you have malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food). This disease may make it hard to absorb B complex vitamins when given orally. Your doctor may prescribe other dosage forms of Elmefol Tablet in such a case. Excessive alcohol consumption reduces the absorption and increases the elimination of folic acid. Alcohol can also worsen the side effects like drowsiness and stomach upset. Hence, please avoid alcohol while using Elmefol Tablet .
Drug-Drug Interactions: Elmefol Tablet may interact with anti-cancer drugs (capecitabine, fluorouracil, methotrexate), fits medicines (phenytoin, phenobarbital, primidone), stomach-related drugs (sulfasalazine), and cholesterol-lowering drugs (cholestyramine).
Drug-Food Interactions: Excessive alcohol consumption reduces absorption and increases the elimination of folic acid. Alcohol can also worsen the side effects like drowsiness and stomach upset.
Drug-Disease Interactions: Use Elmefol Tablet with medical advice if you have malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food) and allergic reactions to medicines.
Anaemia: It is a health condition that happens when the body has a lower amount of red blood cells or haemoglobin than normal haemoglobin (the iron-rich protein responsible for allowing red blood cells to carry more oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body). Dietary iron, folic acid, and zinc are essential for red blood cells to produce and mature in the body. Generally, 0.8 to 1 % of red blood cells are replaced daily. Any process that affects red blood cell production and destruction can cause anaemia. Some of the factors responsible for anaemia include accidents, childbirth, dietary insufficiency, and excessive uterine bleeding.
Vitamin B9 deficiency: When your body doesn't have adequate levels of a water-soluble vitamin called Folic acid or Vitamin B9, this disease is developed. Vitamin B9 deficiency symptoms include fatigue, mouth sores, a weak immune system, tiredness, and low energy level.
Elmefol Tablet is derived from folate that enters the brain and works directly as a methyl donor and monoaminesynthesis modulator, thereby minimizing depression symptoms. It also increases red blood cells (RBCs) in our body.
A person should avoid any dairy products, tea, or coffee within 2 hours before and after taking medication to reduce the medication's effectiveness.
Common signs and symptoms of low folic acid (vitamin B9) are mouth sores, fatigue, weakness, pale skin, lethargy, irritability, shortness of breath, and tongue swelling.
Do not discontinue Elmefol Tablet without consulting your doctor as it might lead to recurring symptoms. To treat your condition effectually continue taking Elmefol Tablet for as long as prescribed. Do not be reluctant to speak with your doctor if you feel any difficulty while taking Elmefol Tablet .
Folate deficiency occurs when your body lacks adequate folic acid/folate levels. You can overcome this deficiency by including food sources rich in folic acid like broccoli, brussels sprouts, leafy green vegetables, cabbage, kale, spring greens, spinach, peas, chickpeas, kidney beans, liver (avoid this during pregnancy), and breakfast cereals fortified with folic acid. If your folic acid levels are still low, your doctor may prescribe its supplements.
It is important to tell your doctor if you have malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food) since it may be hard to absorb vitamins through oral administration. Your doctor may prescribe other dosage forms of Elmefol Tablet in such case.
