2. What you need to know before you take Folic Acid ASPOL 10 mg capsules

Do not take Folic Acid ASPOL 10 mg capsules:

  • If you are allergic to folic acid or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • If you have a vitamin B12 deficiency anemia, since folic acid increases the requirements of this vitamin, worsening neurological symptoms.
  • Patient with Addisonian pernicious anemia may produce combined subacute degeneration of the spinal cord.

Warnings and precautions

Be particularly careful if you have an anemia of unknown origin.

Taking Folic Acid ASPOL 10 mg capsules with other medicines:

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.

Folic acid may decrease plasma concentrations of phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone, and succinimides by increasing their metabolism and the frequency of convulsive crises. Therefore, concomitant use with these medicines is not recommended. If necessary, the doctor should closely monitor the patient and adjust the anticonvulsant dose accordingly.

The simultaneous administration of folic acid and chloramphenicol in patients with folate deficiency may antagonize the hematopoietic response to folic acid.

Other medicines that may adversely affect the absorption or metabolism of folic acid, potentially producing folate deficiency states, are: zinc supplements, antacids, cholestyramine, colestipol, triamterene, antimalarials, sulfasalazine, corticosteroids (prolonged use), oral contraceptives, antiepileptics (carbamazepine or valproic acid), folic acid antagonists (methotrexate, sulfonamides, trimethoprim, pyrimethamine, aminopterin, cotrimoxazole, triamterene), alcohol, or antituberculars.

The need for folic acid may increase in patients who are administered any of these medicines. Therefore, before starting treatment with Folic Acid ASPOL, the patient's clinical condition should be evaluated, as it may be necessary to adjust the dose.

Interference with diagnostic tests:

The administration of large and continuous doses of folic acid may reduce the concentration of vitamin B12 in the blood.

Food and drinks do not affect the effect of Folic Acid ASPOL 10 mg capsules.
