CLONFOLIC FOLIC ACID 98 TABS

Clonfolic 0.4 mg Tablets contains folic acid which belongs to a group of vitamins called ‘B vitamins’. It is essential for good health. Folic acid is required for the manufacture of nucleic acids-the genetic material of cells. It is vital for the development and proper function of the central nervous system.
Clonfolic is indicated for the prevention of first time neural tube defects* (including Spina Bifida) in the foetus. The neural tube is part of the nervous system and is located within the spine. Neural tube defects cause stillbirth, neonatal death and severe disabilities such as Spina Bifida. Clonfolic is indicated for use by all females who are capable of conceiving, whether planning to do so or not. For advice on dosing when planning a pregnancy and in the first trimester of pregnancy see section 3.
* Studies have shown that over 70% of first time neural tube defects such as Spina Bifida can be prevented by taking folic acid (0.4mg) daily.
