Description

Mom Folic 400mcg is a folate supplement tablet manufactured by ATCO Laboratories, containing L-Methylfolate as its active ingredient. L-Methylfolate is the active, body-ready form of folate (Vitamin B9), which the body can use directly without needing additional metabolic conversion. This makes it a suitable option for individuals who may not process standard folic acid as efficiently. Each pack contains 30 tablets, supporting one month of daily supplementation. Mom Folic is commonly recommended for women planning pregnancy, currently pregnant, or breastfeeding, though it should be used based on a healthcare provider’s guidance.

Ingredients

The primary active ingredient in Mom Folic is L-Methylfolate, 400mcg per tablet. The tablet also contains standard pharmaceutical excipients that support proper formulation, stability, and absorption, manufactured according to the quality standards of ATCO Laboratories.

Dosage Form

Mom Folic is available as an oral tablet, containing 400mcg of L-Methylfolate per tablet, supplied in a pack of 30 tablets.

Uses

Mom Folic is primarily used to support adequate folate levels in the body, which play an important role in cell growth and development. It is commonly recommended for women who are planning to conceive, are currently pregnant, or are breastfeeding, as sufficient folate intake during these periods supports healthy fetal development, particularly of the neural tube in early pregnancy. It may also be used to address general folate insufficiency in the diet. The appropriate use and duration should be guided by a healthcare provider based on individual needs.

How to Use

Mom Folic should be taken as directed by your doctor or as indicated on the product packaging, typically once daily, with or without food. Swallow the tablet with a glass of water. For women planning pregnancy, supplementation is often recommended to begin before conception and continue through the early stages of pregnancy, as advised by a physician.

Side Effects

Mom Folic is generally well tolerated when taken at recommended doses. Some individuals may experience mild digestive discomfort, nausea, or bloating. Allergic reactions are rare but possible; symptoms such as rash, itching, or swelling should be reported to a doctor promptly. Because L-Methylfolate can mask symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency, individuals with suspected B12 deficiency should discuss this with their healthcare provider before use.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Mom Folic is commonly used during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as adequate folate intake is considered important during these periods. However, the specific dose and duration should always be confirmed with a treating physician, as individual requirements can vary based on health history and dietary intake.

Storage Instructions

Store Mom Folic tablets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep the medicine in its original packaging and out of reach of children. Do not use tablets beyond their printed expiry date.
