Clonfolic 0.4mg Tablets
Clonfolic contains folic acid which belongs to a group of vitamins called ‘B vitamins’. It is essential for good health. Folic acid is required for the manufacture of nucleic acids-the genetic material of cells. It is vital for the development and proper function of the central nervous system. Clonfolic is indicated for the prevention of first time neural tube defects (including Spina Bifida) in the foetus. The neural tube is part of the nervous system and is located within the spine. Neural tube defects cause stillbirth, neonatal death and severe disabilities such as Spina Bifida. Clonfolic is indicated for use by all females who are capable of conceiving, whether planning to do so or not.
