Thank you David.... we are very very familiar with Metanx.
I only include Deplin here as an RX version of methylfolate since this list is RX examples. People with MTHFR mutation may use Deplin also.
FDA requires an RX category of any folate 1mg or over.
People can purchase methylfolate OTC from the Solgar supplement company at 800mcg/tablet (.8mg).
Folate BTW is not a huge player in PN management. Metanx's
main benefit is the methylcobalamin.
Those with the MTHFR mutation however have higher homocysteine levels and can benefit from Metanx (and folate in general). Some drug treatments deplete folate, and may be used by patients with PN.... methotrexate, NSAIDs, Prednisone, H2 antagonists, HRT, Sulfasalazine, etc.
