How It Works

Folic acid in Folimop Syrup is converted to its active form, tetrahydrofolate, which acts as a coenzyme in various metabolic processes. It enables the body to synthesize and repair DNA, supports rapid cell division, and helps convert homocysteine to methionine. These actions are vital for red blood cell production and normal growth.

Dosage

Take Folimop Syrup with or without food. Use the measuring cup or syringe provided for accurate dosing. Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight.

Duration of Action

Folimop Syrup begins absorption within 30 minutes of administration. Blood levels of folic acid peak within 1-2 hours. When treating deficiency, blood count improvements may be seen within 1-2 weeks, with maximum benefits after 4-8 weeks of regular supplementation.

Side Effects

Folimop Syrup is generally well-tolerated. Rare side effects may include mild nausea, loss of appetite, or bitter taste. Extremely rare allergic reactions include rash, itching, or breathing difficulties. Most patients experience no adverse effects at recommended dosages.

Warning

High doses may mask vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms while allowing neurological damage to progress. Always use the correct dose, especially for children. Allergic reactions, though rare, require immediate medical attention. Discuss with healthcare provider before using doses higher than recommended.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Folimop Syrup is safe and often recommended during pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects. Ideally, supplementation should begin before conception and continue through the first trimester. It’s safe during breastfeeding and poses no risk to nursing infants.

Interaction

• May decrease effectiveness of methotrexate in certain treatments
• Possible reduced absorption when taken with certain anticonvulsants
• May require dose adjustment when taken with sulfa drugs
• Reduced effectiveness with certain antacids and acid reducers
• Potential interaction with zinc supplements affecting absorption

Precaution

Consult healthcare provider before use if you have vitamin B12 deficiency, cancer, or are undergoing cancer treatment. Individuals with kidney disease or on dialysis may require adjusted dosing. Keep out of reach of children and use only the provided measuring device for accurate dosing.

Important Information

Folimop Syrup works best when taken regularly. Do not exceed recommended doses without medical advice. Dietary sources of folate include leafy green vegetables, citrus fruits, beans, and fortified grains. This supplement should complement, not replace, a balanced diet. For severe deficiencies, higher doses may be prescribed initially, followed by maintenance dosing.
