Description

Mom Folic 600mcg 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), allowing the body to use it directly without requiring additional metabolic conversion. This higher-strength formulation is often suited to individuals with increased folate requirements, such as those in later stages of pregnancy. 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 600mcg is L-Methylfolate, 600mcg 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 600mcg of L-Methylfolate per tablet, supplied in a pack of 30 tablets.

Uses

Mom Folic 600mcg is primarily used to support adequate folate levels in the body, which are important for cell growth and development. It is commonly recommended for women who are pregnant, particularly as folate needs increase as pregnancy progresses, as well as for those breastfeeding or planning to conceive. Sufficient folate intake supports healthy fetal development, particularly of the neural tube during early pregnancy. It may also be used to address general folate insufficiency. 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. The dosage may be adjusted by your physician depending on the stage of pregnancy or individual folate requirements, so it should not be self-adjusted without medical advice.

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, particularly at higher requirement stages. 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.
