Folic acid in doses above 0.1 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive. The 500 mcg of cyanocobalamin (B-12) contained in each tablet of Foltrate should address this precaution.
Foltrate is indicated for folic acid supplementation and general nutritional support. May also be recommended for patients who are of advancing age or suffer from improper food intake.
