Medical Description

Arkafol tablet is used to prevent or correct folate deficiency and to support treatment of folate-deficiency megaloblastic anaemia. It contains folic acid, a form of vitamin B9 needed to make genetic material and healthy red blood cells. Folic acid supports normal cell division and red blood cell maturation when folate levels are low. Arkafol tablet is taken by mouth under medical advice, including when a clinician identifies increased folate needs during pregnancy or another period of deficiency risk. It should not replace assessment of anaemia with an uncertain cause.

Uses

  • Folate deficiency: It supplies folic acid when the body does not have enough to support normal cell formation.
  • Folate-deficiency anaemia: It supports red blood cell production when low folate contributes to megaloblastic anaemia.
  • Increased folate need: It may support folate requirements during pregnancy or another period when a doctor identifies deficiency risk.

Contraindications

If you are allergic to any ingredient of this medicine, do not use it. Do not use folic acid alone to treat unexplained anaemia until vitamin B12 deficiency has been assessed, because it can improve the blood picture while nerve problems continue. Tell your doctor about any blood disorder or long-term medical condition.

Side effects

  • Nausea: Folic acid may occasionally upset the stomach and cause queasiness after a tablet. Seek advice if nausea persists or prevents normal eating.
  • Skin reaction: Some people may develop an itchy rash or redness after folic acid. Get emergency medical help for breathing difficulty or swelling of the face, lips or throat.

How does this medicine work?

The active nutrient, folic acid, is converted into forms the body uses to make genetic material and divide cells. It supports the production and maturation of red blood cells in the bone marrow. Correcting low folate can help restore normal blood formation.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way Arkafol tablet works. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins and supplements you take. In particular, mention phenytoin, phenobarbital or primidone, because folic acid may reduce seizure control; methotrexate or trimethoprim, because folate-related treatment may be affected; sulfasalazine, because folic acid absorption may fall; and other folate supplements.
