Description:

Folic acid is used to treat anemia caused by folate deficiency, which leads to megaloblastic anemia. It helps the body make healthy red blood cells and is especially important for people with poor dietary intake, alcohol use, certain medications, or conditions that affect absorption. Folic acid is usually given as an oral supplement and often works quickly to improve blood counts and symptoms like fatigue. In some cases, it is prescribed together with vitamin B12 to ensure both deficiencies are addressed. Regular supplementation may also be recommended in pregnancy to prevent anemia and birth defects.
