Possible Interactions with
Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid)
Overview
Birth control medications, anticonvulsants (such as phenytoin), and
cholesterol-lowering medications, particularly cholestyramine, may effect the
levels of folic acid in the blood as well as the body's ability to use this
vitamin.
Sulfasalazine, a medication used for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease,
may affect the absorption of folic acid.
Methotrexate, a medication used for the treatment of cancer and resistant
rheumatoid arthritis, increases the need for folic acid.
When taken for long periods of time, aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and
other anti-inflammatory medications can also increase the need for folic
acid.
