- Its 5,000 mcg of folic acid (filed by NIH under folate) is higher than 99% of the 7,022 folate products that print an amount; 71 list more.
The NIH database records one serving a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
The Tolerable Upper Intake Level is the most of a nutrient per day, from food, water and supplements together, that is likely to pose no risk for almost all adults (Institute of Medicine, 2011). It does not apply under medical supervision. This page compares labels; it is not medical advice.

- Do not exceed recommended dosage. Precautions: Folic acid when administered as a single agent in doses above 0.1 mg daily, may obscure pernicious anemia in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive. The 1 mg of cyanocobalamin contained in Folbee Plus Tablets has been shown to provide an adequate amount of cyanocobalamin to address this precaution. A safe upper limit of 100 mg per day has been established for the unsupervised medical use of pyridoxine. Consider all sources of pyridoxine supplementation when prescribing Folbee Plus Tablets.
- Adverse reactions: Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folic acid. Paresthesia and somnolence have been reported with pyridoxine hcl. Mild transient diarrhea, polycythemia vera, peripheral vascular thrombosis, itching transitory exanthema and feeling or swelling of entire body has been associated with cyanocobalamin.
- Drug interactions: Pyridoxine supplements should not be given to patients receiving the drug levodopa, because the action of levodopa is antagonized by pyridoxine. However, pyridoxine may be used concurrently in patients receiving a preparations containing both carbidopa and levodopa. Concurrent use of phenytoin and folacin (folic acid) may result in decreased phenytoin effectiveness.
