Certain antibiotics, particularly sulfonamides, can interfere with folic acid metabolism by inhibiting the enzyme dihydropteroate synthase, which is crucial for folate synthesis in bacteria. This mechanism can lead to a depletion of folic acid levels in the body, potentially resulting in deficiencies, especially in individuals with pre-existing conditions or inadequate dietary intake of folate. Additionally, other antibiotics may disrupt gut microbiota, which can also affect nutrient absorption, including folic acid. Monitoring folate levels during prolonged antibiotic therapy is advisable to prevent deficiencies.

Folic acid deficiency anaemia?
The type of anemia that is linked to a deficiency of folic acid is called megaloglastic anemia. It is characterized by large red blood cells that are immature, and thus don't function properly, and by neutrophils that have more segments in their nuclei than they should have (normally they have 3-4 segments). People with megaloblastic anemia also have a higher level of homocysteine in their blood.
Folic acid deficiency causes?
Folic acid deficiency can cause anemia, as it is crucial for red blood cell production. It can also lead to neural tube defects in newborns if pregnant women do not get enough folic acid. Symptoms may include fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and poor growth in children.
What vitamins reduce homocysteine?
Folic acid, B12 and 6. Folic acid reduces the homocysteine, while B 12 and B 6 are synergystic. B12 must be taken with folic acid because folic acid can mask a B12 deficiency.
What is folic acid deficiency?
Folic acid deficiency occurs when there is a lack of folic acid in the body, which is a type of B vitamin essential for cell growth and function. It can lead to symptoms like weakness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and anemia. Pregnant women are particularly at risk, as folic acid is important for fetal development.
Who gets folic acid anemia?
Folic acid anemia is especially common in infants and teenagers. Although this condition usually results from a dietary deficiency, it is sometimes due to inability to absorb enough folic acid.
Does Folic Acid Deficiency make you tired you have the deficiency and you have become more exhausted lately?
