Description:
Indications of Zifolet
This pill is prescribed to treat and prevent Folic Acid and Zinc deficiency.
Pharmacology
In a special formulation, this pill contains folic acid and zinc sulfate monohydrate. Zinc is an essential trace element for human nutrition and plays a role in numerous enzyme systems throughout the body. Severe zinc deficiency results in skin lesions, baldness, diarrhea, increased susceptibility to infections, cognitive impairment, and other symptoms. A member of the B-vitamin family is folic acid. It is changed by the body into tetrahydrofolate, which is a coenzyme used in a number of metabolic processes, including the synthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides and, consequently, DNA. Additionally, it contributes to the conversion of some amino acids. When food intake is insufficient, as in starvation, due to malabsorption, from increased consumption of illnesses like hemolytic anemia during pregnancy, or from the use of folate antagonists, megaloblastic anemia can develop.
Dosage & Administration
1 tablet daily, or as recommended by a physician.
Interaction of Zifolet
Zinc absorption is reduced when there is a lot of calcium in the body. There have been no reports of medication interactions with Folic Acid.
Contraindications
Zinc is contraindicated in patients having hypersensitivity to Zinc. Folic Acid is contraindicated in untreated cobalamine deficiency.
Side Effects of Zifolet
The required amount of folic acid and zinc is well tolerated. Gastrointestinal problems such as stomach discomfort, dyspepsia, nausea, vomiting, fever, and respiratory distress may occur on occasion.
