Patient's question:
A friend of mine has epilepsy and sometimes experiences recurrence. It is said that folic acid is good for the digestive system, but does folic acid affect epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Folic acid will never affect epilepsy. The main function of folic acid is to prevent miscarriage or neural tube defects that may occur during pregnancy. It can also prevent cerebrovascular diseases. Some people with cerebrovascular diseases can also take folic acid. However, it is essential to have a thorough medical examination in the hospital or follow a doctor's advice before taking it. It should not be used casually, as taking the wrong dose may have the opposite effect. Please pay close attention.
