lüll Folic acid: the right dose Koren G; Goh YI; Klieger CCan Fam Physician 2008[Nov]; 54 (11): 1545-7ABSTRACTQUESTION The new Motherisk Guidelines suggest 5 mg/d of folic acid. Why was the dose increased? What is the time frame for taking such a dose?ANSWER Recent data from Ontario reveal that 40% of women of reproductive age still do not achieve therapeutic systemic levels of folate needed to prevent neural tube defects. Compliance is less than optimal among women using prenatal vitamins, rendering many women unprotected against neural tube defects. Taking a higher dose of folate will allow achievement of protective folate levels, even with partial compliance. Five mg of folate should be used daily several months before conception until the end of the first trimester.|*Practice Guidelines as Topic[MESH]|Canada[MESH]|Dose-Response Relationship, Drug[MESH]|Folic Acid/*administration & dosage/adverse effects[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Neural Tube Defects/*prevention & control[MESH]|Prenatal Care[MESH]|Risk Assessment[MESH]|Vitamin B Complex/*administration & dosage/adverse effects[MESH] |
