L-METHYLFOLATE TAB

L-METHYLFOLATE TAB: L-Methylfolate Tab is a medication used to treat certain types of depression. It is a prescription form of L-methylfolate, which is the active form of folate in the body. Folate is a B-vitamin that is necessary for the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.

The mechanism of action of L-Methylfolate Tab involves providing the body with an already active form of folate, bypassing the need for the body to convert folic acid into L-methylfolate. This is beneficial because some individuals have difficulty converting folic acid into its active form, which can lead to low levels of folate in the body. By providing L-methylfolate directly, this medication helps to ensure that the body has an adequate supply of folate.

The dose of L-Methylfolate Tab will vary depending on the individual and their specific needs. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Typically, the recommended dose is 7.5 mg per day, but this can be adjusted as necessary.

As with any medication, L-Methylfolate Tab may have side effects. Common side effects include irritability, restlessness, nausea, and headaches. More serious side effects are rare, but can include allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any severe or persistent side effects while taking this medication.

It is worth noting that L-Methylfolate Tab is not a standalone treatment for depression, but it may be used as an adjunct therapy alongside other antidepressant medications. It is important to discuss any concerns or questions about this medication with your healthcare provider before starting or stopping it.
