As a result, an adequate amount of hemoglobin (Hb) is produced in the body so that body's each tissue gets a sufficient supply of oxygen.

Most of these side effects of FOLIMIC TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
