Olic B6 Tablet 10 contains folic acid (5 mg), which acts on the body as follows:

• Provides Bioavailable Folate: Folic acid offers a readily usable form of folate that doesn't need extensive metabolism to be functional within the body.

• Converts to Active Folate: Once absorbed, folic acid changes into the active form of folate known as tetrahydrofolate (THF).

• Supports Cell Production: THF plays a crucial role in generating DNA, managing amino acids, and producing healthy red blood cells.

• Promotes Proper Foetal Development: Adequate folic acid intake is crucial for proper neural tube development in foetuses, reducing the risk of birth defects like spina bifida and anencephaly.

• Keep the Olic B6 Tablet 10 in its original packaging until use.

• Store at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, strong heat, and moisture.

• Keep the medicine out of reach of children.

• If you're dealing with folate deficiency anemia, include more folate-rich foods in your diet such as leafy green vegetables, beans, peas, and nuts.

• For pregnant women taking Olic B6 Tablet 10, maintaining a balanced diet with adequate folic acid intake can help prevent neural tube defects. This can include fortified cereals and whole grains. Always consult your doctor for individual dietary advice.
