Indications & Uses
Folic Acid + Zinc Sulfate Monohydrate tablets are used to treat folic acid and zinc deficiencies, and also to prevent them.
Pharmacology
This tablet is a special preparation of Folic Acid and Zinc Sulfate Monohydrate. Zinc is an essential trace element that people need in their diet, and it takes part in a number of enzyme systems in the body. Severe Zinc deficiency causes skin lesions, alopecia, diarrhoea, a higher chance of infections, cognitive impairment, and so on.
Folic Acid belongs to the B-Vitamins group. The body reduces it to tetrahydrofolate, which is the coenzyme for various metabolic processes, including the synthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides and, through them, the synthesis of DNA. It is also involved in some amino acid conversions. Deficiency of Folic Acid may cause megaloblastic anaemia. This develops when dietary intake is inadequate, as in malnutrition, from malabsorption, from increased utilization as in pregnancy or in conditions such as haemolytic anaemia, and as a result of giving folate antagonists.
