Taking medications such as folic acid to treat hyperhomocysteinemia is recommended to keep plasma homocysteine levels below 10 μmol/L.
When the plasma homocysteine level exceeds 10 μmol/L, it is called hyperhomocysteinemia, and the risk of diseases such as coronary heart disease and gastrointestinal malignant tumors begins to gradually increase. Folic acid is commonly used in clinical practice to control the condition, and it is usually necessary to control homocysteine to less than 10 μmol/L.
However, it should be noted that in the process of medication, if there is a significant decrease in appetite, nausea, abdominal discomfort and other adverse reactions, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner, and if necessary, it may be necessary to stop the use of medication. In addition, the use of folic acid is prohibited in cases of megaloblastic anemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency and drug allergy.
In the presence of hyperhomocysteinemia, it is recommended to promptly go to the hospital; the above drugs need to be used under the guidance of clinicians.
