ABSTRACTQUESTION The new Motherisk Guidelines suggest 5 mg/d of folic acid. Why was the dose increased? What is the time frame for taking such a dose?ANSWER Recent data from Ontario reveal that 40% of women of reproductive age still do not achieve therapeutic systemic levels of folate needed to prevent neural tube defects. Compliance is less than optimal among women using prenatal vitamins, rendering many women unprotected against neural tube defects. Taking a higher dose of folate will allow achievement of protective folate levels, even with partial compliance. Five mg of folate should be used daily several months before conception until the end of the first trimester.
摘要
新的母亲风险指南建议叶酸剂量为每日5毫克。为何增加剂量?服用此剂量的时间范围是多久?
安大略省的最新数据显示,40%的育龄妇女仍未达到预防神经管缺陷所需的叶酸治疗性全身水平。服用产前维生素的女性依从性欠佳,致使许多女性无法预防神经管缺陷。即使部分依从,服用更高剂量的叶酸也能达到保护性叶酸水平。应在受孕前数月至孕早期结束期间每日服用5毫克叶酸。
