Question: Question about Folic Acid!?
My Dr's have put me on 5mg of folic acid everyday for the rest of my life due to a high homocysteine level!. I found this out when I was pregnant with my Daughter and developed a DVT!. My prescription was for 100, 1mg tablets!. I had to take 5 tablets daily!. My perscription has run out and I have to wait a few weeks before I can get in the Dr office!. What is the highest dose of folic acid available OTC!? Which brand would be the best to use until I can get my perscription refilled!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
