[Calcium folate in pregnancy. Therapeutic efficacy]
Abstract
An open, randomised multicentre study was carried out to compare pregnant women, treated with calcium folinate (Citofolin Bracco S.p.A.) 15 mg/day per os starting from the 12th or 20th week of gestation, with an untreated group. The results obtained confirm the efficacy of calcium folinate treatment on the trends of parameters analysed (serum and endoerythrocytic folatemia, hemoglobin and sideremia) which remained within the normal range. Moreover, no adverse effects of any type were reported during the study.
