Product Information

How can DEPLIN

^® help me?

DEPLIN^® can provide the body with already-active folate that is ready to help promote the production of natural chemicals in the brain that affect mood and help you get the most out of your antidepressant therapy.

Is DEPLIN

^® safe? What are the side effects?

Yes, DEPLIN^® is generally safe and does not have the side effects of traditional antidepressants. In clinical trials, the side effects of DEPLIN^® were about the same as those of a placebo (a pill or liquid with no active medicine, such as a sugar pill). DEPLIN^®, which is safe to take with antidepressant medications when taken as indicated, is not associated with weight gain, insomnia, or sexual dysfunction.

How is DEPLIN

^® different from over-the-counter (OTC) options?

OTC folic acid needs to be activated by your body before it can be used. Unfortunately, up to 70% of people with depression may have a compromised ability to complete this activation. DEPLIN^® capsules can provide you with already-active folate so your body does not have to activate it for you to see a benefit. DEPLIN^® addresses the body’s nutritional requirements and creates an environment that allows you to get the most out of your antidepressant therapy.

Is there a program to help me save on my prescription?

Yes, you can save on DEPLIN^® with Brand Direct Health^® pharmacy, which offers savings, support, and resources to patients. To fill your prescription through Brand Direct Health^® pharmacy, call 1-866-331-6440 or visit www.branddirecthealth.com to learn more.

Deplin Oral: Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Pictures, Warnings & Dosing

Uses

Folic acid is the man-made form of folate. Folate is a B-vitamin naturally found in some foods. It is needed to form healthy cells, especially red blood cells.Folic acid supplements may come in different forms (such as L-methylfolate, levomefolate, methyltetrahydrofolate). They are used to treat or prevent low folate levels. Low folate levels can lead to certain types of anemia. Conditions that can cause low folate levels include poor diet, pregnancy, alcoholism, liver disease, certain stomach/intestinal problems, kidney dialysis, among others. Women of childbearing age should receive adequate amounts of folic acid either through their diet or supplements to prevent infant spinal cord birth defects.

Vitamin B group (vitamin B _c , vitamin B ₉ ), can be synthesized and is necessary for the normal maturation of megaloblasts and the formation of normoblasts. Participates in the synthesis of amino acids (including glycine, methionine), nucleic acids, purines, pyrimidines, in the metabolism of choline, histidine.

Vitamin B. In the body it is converted into tetrahydrofolic acid, which is involved in various metabolic processes as a coenzyme and is necessary for the normal maturation of megaloblasts and the formation of normoblasts. With a deficiency of folic acid, a megaloblastic type of hematopoiesis develops. Stimulates erythropoiesis, participates in the synthesis of amino acids (including methionine, serine, glycine), nucleic acids, purines, pyrimidines, in the metabolism of choline, histidine. During pregnancy, it performs a protective function in relation to the action of teratogenic and fetal-damaging factors. Contributes to the normal maturation and functioning of the placenta.

Folic acid is well and completely absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, mainly in the upper duodenum (even in the presence of malabsorption syndrome against the background of tropical sprue).

Intensively binds to plasma proteins. Penetrates through the BBB, the placenta, and also into breast milk. T _max – 30-60 min. It is deposited and metabolized in the liver with the formation of tetrahydrofolic acid (in the presence of ascorbic acid under the action of dihydrofolate reductase).

Excreted by the kidneys mainly as metabolites. If the accepted dose significantly exceeds the daily requirement for folic acid, then it is excreted unchanged.

Eliminated by hemodialysis.

After oral administration, folic acid, combining in the stomach with the internal factor of Castle (a specific glycoprotein), is well and completely absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. Almost completely bound to plasma proteins.

Deposited and metabolized in the liver with the formation of tetrahydrofolic acid (in the presence of ascorbic acid under the action of the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase). Penetrates through the BBB, the placenta and into breast milk. C _max in the blood is achieved in 30–60 minutes. It is excreted by the kidneys both unchanged (if the accepted dose significantly exceeds the daily requirement), and in the form of metabolites. Excreted by hemodialysis. 5 mg of folic acid taken orally is excreted from the body after 5 hours.0072 . Be
carefully and be sure to check the information on section Interaction
in the instructions for the drug Deplin directly from the package or from the pharmacist at the pharmacy.

Anticonvulsants (including phenytoin and carbamazepine), estrogens, oral contraceptives increase the need for folic acid.

Antacids (including calcium, aluminum and magnesium preparations), cholestyramine, sulfonamides (including sulfasalazine) reduce the absorption of folic acid.

Methotrexate, pyrimethamine, triamterene, trimethoprim inhibit dihydrofolate reductase and reduce the effect of folic acid (calcium folinate should be given instead in patients using these drugs).

There is no definitive information regarding zinc preparations: some studies show that folate inhibits zinc absorption, others do not.

When used simultaneously with chloramphenicol, neomycin, polymyxins, tetracyclines, the absorption of folic acid is reduced.

With simultaneous use, folic acid reduces the effects of oral contraceptives, ethanol, sulfasalazine, cycloserine and glutethimide, methotrexate, phenytoin, primidone, chloramphenicol.

Folic acid may decrease plasma levels of phenobarbital, phenytoin, or primidone and cause an epileptic seizure.

Decreased or altered absorption may occur with co-administration of cholestyramine and folic acid, so folic acid should be taken 1 hour before or 4 to 6 hours after cholestyramine.

PRECAUTIONS

General

L-methylfolate (DEPLIN) is not interchangeable with folic acid. In some patients, folic acid is not effective in influencing folic acid levels in the brain due to the low rate of transport of folic acid across the blood-brain barrier and/or low levels in the brain of an enzyme needed to convert folic acid into a biological and functional form. ^7-9

Patients at risk of vitamin B12 deficiency should consult their physician before taking L-methylfolate.
