Biokraft

A member of the vitamin B family that stimulates the hematopoietic system. It is present in the liver and kidney and is found in mushrooms, spinach, yeast, green leaves, and grasses (poaceae). Folic acid (Biokraft) is used in the treatment and prevention of folate deficiencies and megaloblastic anemia. [PubChem]

3-((4-Amino-2-methyl-5-pyrimidinyl)methyl)-5-(2- hydroxyethyl)-4-methylthiazolium chloride.

Nutritional factor found in milk, eggs, malted barley, liver, kidney, heart, and leafy vegetables. The richest natural source is yeast. It occurs in the free form only in the retina of the eye, in whey, and in urine; its principal forms in tissues and cells are as flavin mononucleotide and flavin-adenine dinucleotide.

Folic acid (Biokraft) is used in the treatment and prevention of the folate deficiency state. It does not correct folate deficiency due to dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors. Folic acid (Biokraft) is also used in women of child-bearing potential and pregnant women to protect against neural tube defects in their offspring. It is also used for the treatment of folate-deficient megaloblastic anaemia, chronic haemolytic states such as thalassaemia major or sickle-cell anaemia.

It is indicated for the treatment of infections caused by the following sensitive bacteria: Lower respiratory infection, urinary tract infection, septicoemia, skin soft tissue infection, bone and joint infection, and infection prevention in operations. Preoperative injection of a single dose of 1g cefonicid sodium can reduce incidence rate of postoperative infections due to contamination during operation or potential contamination. The use of this product in abdominal delivery (after shearing abdominal stalk) can reduce incidence rate of postoperative infections

Dialysis

Folic acid (Biokraft) is removed by both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. The amount removed varies with type equipment used.

Because folate may accumulate in patients with end-stage renal disease, side effects may be more likely in this patient who is undergoing dialysis. Once this patient's body stores of folate are replete, three times a week dosing may be just as beneficial as once daily dosing but should portend a lower risk of side effects.

Other Comments

The recommended daily allowance of Folic acid (Biokraft) for adult males and females ranges from 150 to 200 and 150 to 180 mcg/day, respectively.

There is a potential danger in administering Folic acid (Biokraft) to patients with undiagnosed anemia, since Folic acid (Biokraft) may obscure the diagnosis of pernicious anemia by alleviating the hematologic manifestations of the disease while allowing the neurologic complications to progress.

Severe megaloblastic anemia may require therapy for 4 to 5 weeks. Once stabilized, if dietary intake is inadequate, maintenance therapy can be started.

What is the most important information I should know about Folic acid (Biokraft)?

Because it may mask the hematologic abnormalities while neurological damage progresses, Folic acid (Biokraft) should not be used in the therapy of patients with vitamin B12 deficiency of any cause, unless there is associated folate deficiency. The Folic acid (Biokraft) content of one tablet a day however, is unlikely to mask pernicious anemia should this condition be present. Also, pregnancy during pernicious anemia is very rare.

Folic acid (Biokraft) is the man-made form of folate. Folate is a B-vitamin naturally found in some foods. It is needed to form healthy cells, especially red blood cells.

Folic acid (Biokraft) supplements may come in different forms (such as L-methylfolate, levomefolate, methyltetrahydrofolate). They are used to treat or prevent low folate levels. Low folate levels can lead to certain types of anemia. Conditions that can cause low folate levels include poor diet, pregnancy, alcoholism, liver disease, certain stomach/intestinal problems, kidney dialysis, among others. Women of childbearing age should receive adequate amounts of Folic acid (Biokraft) either through their diet or supplements to prevent infant spinal cord birth defects.

What other drugs will affect Folic acid (Biokraft)?

Medications that interfere with your bodys ability to use folate may also increase the need for this vitamin. Medications can interfere with folate utilization, including: anticonvulsant medications (such as phenytoin, and primidone) metformin (sometimes prescribed to control blood sugar in type 2 diabetes) sulfasalazine (used to control inflammation associated with Crohns disease and ulcerative colitis) triamterene (a diuretic) Methotrexate There has been concern about the interaction between vitamin B12 and Folic acid (Biokraft). Folic acid (Biokraft) supplements can correct the anemia associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. Unfortunately, Folic acid (Biokraft) will not correct changes in the nervous system that result from vitamin B12 deficiency. Permanent nerve damage could theoretically occur if vitamin B12 deficiency is not treated. Therefore, intake of supplemental Folic acid (Biokraft) should not exceed 1000 micrograms (g, sometimes mcg) per day to prevent Folic acid (Biokraft) from masking symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency. It is important for older adults to be aware of the relationship between Folic acid (Biokraft) and vitamin B12 because they are at greater risk of having a vitamin B12 deficiency. If you are 50 years of age or older, ask your physician to check your B12 status before you take a supplement that contains Folic acid (Biokraft).
