Brief Answer:
No need to worry about Folate levels.
Detailed Answer:
HI
Thanks for posting your query.
Your folate levels are not high and moreover a high folate levels will not cause problem to the body , as it is a water soluble vitamin and anything excess will be thrown out in the urine .
So don't worry about folate levels.
Now you need to get evaluated for low vitamin B12 levels. I would recommend the following tests for you. Kindly get it done and revert back with reports.
Stool for Ova and Cysts, Anti-Intrinsic factor Antibodies.
For the correction of low vitamin B12 you need to take Inj Rejuneuron weekly once for 2-3 months . Kindly consult your doctor and ask for the prescription.
Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask.
Regards.

HI
Anisocytosis means the red blood cells are not in equal size . It is seen in many conditions including Vitamin B 12 .
If your intrinsic factor abs level is normal then get tested for Stool for Ova and cyst.
You get only Iron preparations like Tab Ferium.

sir password is 0000 kindly enter that can I take zentel without testing stool because my doc is not supportive also the medicine that u prescribed won't effect folic acid.m having body pain droopy eyes
Brief Answer:
No need for Iron supplements.
Detailed Answer:
HI
See your Hb is 12.5 , you don't need to take Iron supplements, just eat Iron rich food like Custard Apple, Ragi, Dates , Pomogranate , Beetroot, peanuts, groundnuts, Almonds etc.
If you still want to take Iron supplements , you can go ahead without worrying about Folate levels as I have said earlier anything extra that your body doesn't need will be thrown out in the Uirne.
Yes you can take Zentel without testing for stools , but I would still recommend you to consult your doctor for this. If you are taking Zentel , then it has to be repeated after 1 week .
Hope this information was useful to you.
