Suggest Alternate Over The Counter Medication For Folate
Hi my doctor in India prescribed foliate 5 mg tablets and I am in Canada now and I am out of foliate 5mg tablets. Can I take folic acid 5mg supplement that I will get in any pharmacy and general store here in Canada than getting foliate 5 mg from India.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you can take folic acid tablets available in any store or pharmacy in Canada.
Folate 5 mg is having folic acid only.
So folic acid you will get from store is similar to folate from India.
So don't worry, start taking folic acid tablet 5 mg. Both are same.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
