Has anyone been put on these for anaemia. On top of my cholesterol being high I’m also anaemiac. Wish I hadn’t asked for a check up, now. I was feeling reasonably well but now just want to lie on a chaise longue, taking smelling salts having a fit of the vapours (I’m a bit of a worrier shock…)

Yes, I have been prescribed Folic acid as I am also on Methotrexate for Rheumatoid Arthritis and I also have a biologic infusion. It helps with my reduced immune systems from the methotrexate. It hasn’t caused any problems.

I don't understand why they aren't on repeat.
