Folic acid deficiency anemia: Treatment
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))

Treatment consists primarily of folic acid supplements and elimination of contributing causes. Folic acid supplements may be given orally or parenterally (to patients who are severely ill, have malabsorption, or are unable to take oral medication). Many patients respond favorably to a well-balanced diet. If the patient has combined B12 and folate deficiencies, folic acid replenishment alone may aggravate neurologic dysfunction.
