Stimulates erythropoiesis, participates in the synthesis of amino acids (including glycine, methionine), nucleic acids, pyrimidines, purines and in the exchange of histidine and choline.

Pharmacokinetics

Folic acid is well and completely absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, mainly in the upper duodenum. It is almost completely bound to plasma proteins.

It is activated in the liver under the influence of the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, converting into tetrahydrofolic acid. Maximal concentration in blood (Cmax) is reached after 30-60 minutes. It penetrates through the blood-brain barrier and placental barrier into breast milk.

It is excreted by the kidneys mainly as metabolites, and if the dose received significantly exceeds the daily requirement for folic acid it is excreted unchanged. Excreted with hemodialysis.
