How Afol Injection works
Folic acid is a form of vitamin B. It plays a vital role in the formation of red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body. Thus, it replenishes the body's stores of folic acid, thereby correcting folic acid deficiency anemia. It is also essential in pregnancy due to its role in the development of the unborn baby's brain and spinal cord. |
