Folic acid supplementation for cerebral infarction

Cerebral infarction generally refers to cerebral infarction. Whether cerebral infarction needs folic acid supplementation should be judged according to specific circumstances.

Cerebral infarction is generally caused by limited ischemic necrosis or softening of brain tissue caused by cerebral blood circulation disorders. Folic acid belongs to a B vitamin, which is usually used to treat folic acid deficiency and anemia caused by folic acid deficiency. It cannot be used to improve or treat cerebral infarction. For people without folic acid deficiency, folic acid supplementation is generally not required. However, some patients with cerebral infarction due to reduced food intake, increased demand and other reasons, may lead to folic acid deficiency or anemia, usually need to supplement folic acid under the guidance of a doctor.
