What is Foltabs 800?
Foltabs 800 is a brand-name prescription B-vitamin supplement with pyridoxine (vitamin B6), folic acid (vitamin B9), and cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12). It is prescribed to patients to either prevent or treat deficiencies of these vitamins due to poor nourishment, pregnancy, illness, or some other cause. Foltabs 800 is primarily prescribed to treat folate (B9) deficiency – the “800” in the product name refers to the 800 mcg of folate in the product.
All the B vitamins are needed to convert proteins, fats, and carbohydrates into energy. They are also a key part of the cellular production of energy from simple chemicals. Vitamins B6, B9, and B12 are critical for the production of red blood cells which transport needed oxygen to all the cells in the body. Deficiencies in any one of these three vitamins can cause anemia, or low levels of healthy red blood cells. Folate-deficiency anemia, in particular, is one of the most common forms of anemia, second only to iron-deficiency anemia. Certain people, such as pregnant women or people taking certain drugs, are vulnerable to deficiencies in these vitamins.
Foltabs 800 is taken as a tablet once daily. Each tablet contains 500% of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin B6, 200% (800 mcg) of the RDA of folic acid, and 1917% of the RDA of vitamin B12.
What are the side effects of Foltabs 800?
Common side effects of Foltabs 800 include but are not limited to upset stomach, nausea, diarrhea, gas, and drowsiness. Each tablet contains several times the recommended daily allowance of vitamins B6, B9, and B12. While vitamins B9 and B12 can be consumed excessively without adverse effects, long-term excessive consumption of vitamin B6 can cause nausea, light sensitivity, heartburn, and serious and irreversible nerve damage. Foltabs 800 is only intended for short-term use.
