Folwin Tablet 10's

Your doctor may recommend this medicine to help manage the following conditions:

• Nutritional Deficiencies: It helps replenish low levels of essential B-complex vitamins, ensuring your body can carry out vital metabolic processes.
• Anaemia: It aids in the production of healthy red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout your body and prevent fatigue associated with folate-deficiency anaemia.
• Hyperhomocysteinemia: By lowering high levels of an amino acid called homocysteine in the blood, it helps support heart and blood vessel health.
• Nerve Health Support: It assists in maintaining the protective covering of nerve fibres, reducing symptoms like tingling or numbness.

Taking medicine provides several key health benefits that help you feel better and recover your strength:

• Improved Energy Levels: By supporting healthy red blood cell formation, this medicine helps reduce the persistent fatigue and weakness caused by anaemia, allowing you to return to your daily activities with more energy.
• Protection Against Nerve Pain: It helps protect and repair nerve cells, which can relieve uncomfortable sensations like tingling, numbness, or burning in your hands and feet.
• Support for Cardiovascular Health: By helping regulate homocysteine levels, it contributes to the long-term protection of your heart and blood vessels.

• Take Folwin Tablet with or without food as advised by the doctor.
• It is recommended to take Folwin Tablet once daily in the morning or evening or as advised by your doctor.
• Swallow it as a whole with a glass of water.
• Do not break, crush, or chew it.

• Eat folate-rich foods: Eat folate-rich foods, such as spinach, kale, broccoli, asparagus, and citrus fruits.
• Include vitamin B6-rich foods: Include vitamin B6-rich foods in your diet, such as poultry, fish, bananas, and whole grains, to complement your treatment.
• Avoid heavy alcohol consumption: Avoid heavy alcohol consumption, as alcohol significantly impairs your body's ability to absorb and utilise both folic acid and pyridoxine.
• Stay well-hydrated: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day to support your body's metabolism and general cellular function.
• Monitor your symptoms: Keep track of your symptoms and share any persistent numbness or fatigue with your doctor during follow-up visits.

• Check the packaging before use: Check the tablet package or bottle before each use to ensure the seals are intact and the tablets have not changed colour or degraded.
• Inform your healthcare providers: Inform all your healthcare providers, including dentists and surgeons, that you are taking this medication, as high vitamin levels can sometimes interfere with certain laboratory test results.
• Use only as prescribed: Avoid taking high doses of pyridoxine for longer than recommended, as prolonged use may rarely cause peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage). Tell your doctor immediately if you develop persistent numbness, tingling, weakness, or problems with coordination, as your treatment may need to be reviewed.
• Check the expiry date: Always check the expiration date on the package before taking a dose; never use expired medicine.
• Do not share your medication: Do not share this medicine with anyone else, even if they have similar symptoms to yours.
• Vitamin B12 deficiency: Folic acid can improve the blood changes caused by vitamin B12 deficiency (pernicious anaemia) while allowing the underlying nerve damage to progress. Your doctor may check your vitamin B12 levels before or during treatment if vitamin B12 deficiency is suspected.
