9. Medication Interactions

Folic acid can interfere with the absorption of some antibiotics, which makes the medications less effective. Ask a doctor if folic acid supplements are safe for use with a prescribed antibiotic. Sometimes taking vitamin supplements at different times can help. Folic acid supplements can also interfere with anti-seizure medications and increase the risk of seizures. Doctors may recommend avoiding folic acid supplements altogether or look for workable solutions if the supplement is necessary.
