Neopholic 0.4 mg. 90 tablets

WHAT IS NEOPHOLIC AND WHAT IS USED FOR?

Neopholic are light yellow, packed in blisters of 30 tablets, each containing 0.4 milligrams of folic acid.

Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin (Vitamin B9) that acts as a coenzyme in the biosynthesis of amino acids and nucleic acid bases.

Deficiency of folic acid leads to disturbances in the build-up and development of cells in the human body, causing defects in the neural tube formation of the fetus and causing the occurrence of spina bifida.

Deficiency of folic acid also causes disorders in the haematopoietic apparatus, which is clinically manifested as macrocytic anemia.

Neopholic is a nutritional supplement intended for pregnant women in the first trimester. Women planning pregnancy as well as men and women taking folic acid from food at a dose lower than daily needs. Regular and regular adoption of Neopholic favors the normal course of pregnancy and greatly reduces the risk of developing spina bifida in the newborn, as well as other congenital abnormalities.

2. WHAT IS SPINA BIFIDA?

Spina bifida is a serious spinal cord defect. This defect affects the spinal cord, the vertebrae, the muscles and the skin forming the spine. The defect occurs during the formation of the head and spinal cord during the fourth week of pregnancy, six weeks after the last menstrual cycle, in most cases it happens before the woman learns she is pregnant.

Depending on the severity of spina bifida, the defect may be visible on the back of the newborn, but in less severe cases there are no visible anatomical changes. The worst forms, representing a fully open spine, are incompatible with life. In lighter forms, a permanent leg weakness, reduced sensitivity and difficulty in walking can be observed. These forms often lead to disability. The lightest forms have symptoms of spitting and difficult control of defecation. Any woman may have a baby with spina bifida, even if there is no evidence of such a defect in the family history of the parents.

Approximately 1 in 1,000 babies are born with spina bifida and another 1 in 1,000 babies is born with another neural tube defect. Taking 0.4 milligrams of folic acid 1 month before pregnancy and during the first three months of pregnancy reduces the risk of spina bifida up to 80%.

3. BEFORE YOU TAKE Neopholic

Do not take Neopholic if:

You have ever had an allergic reaction to folic acid or some of the other ingredients in the tablet. The most common symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, itching, swelling of the lips and face, shortness of breath. Ask your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.

Consult your doctor if:

♦ You are born with spina bifida

♦ you have had a previous pathological pregnancy, as a result of which the child was born with spina bifida or any other birth defect of the neural tube

♦ you suffer from epilepsy treated with phenobarbital, phenytoin or pyrimidone

♦ you are taking medicines that inhibit the metabolism of folic acid (methotrexate, trimethoprim) or reduce its absorption in the gastrointestinal tract (contraceptives, anticonvulsants)

♦ you have undergone surgery with resection of the small intestine

These conditions require the administration of higher doses of folic acid.

4. HOW TO TAKE Neopholic?

Make Adoption Neopholic part of your daily schedule.

The daily intake of Neopholic should not exceed 2 tablets.

5. WHEN TO START THE RECEPTION OF NEOPHOLIC?

In connection with normal pregnancy and reduced risk of developing spina bifida in the newborn, it is recommended that Neopholic be taken at least 1 month before pregnancy and continue for the first three months of pregnancy. If pregnancy is not planned, start taking Neopholic immediately after it is established. Since it is difficult to predict the onset of pregnancy, it is recommended that every woman who is likely to become pregnant should take 1 Neopholic tablet every day.
