Can't find my Folic acid seems to have been misplaced.

I haven't had my dose today. Can't get any more from GP as I was given a new supply last week.

I'm going to see if I can buy some over the counter once my delivery has arrived as I'm about to start benepali.

Does anyone know where I may be able to buy Folic acid. I'm thinking boots may have them.

You can get folic acid in Tesco but it's a very low dose so you have to take about 12 tablets to get the 5mg of our folic acid.

I would ring my gp and explain that it's gone missing and ask for a new prescription. It's not as if it's an opioid!! People do lose things....I have lost pills and never had any problem getting another prescription. Good luck!!

You can't get the 5mg Folic acid tablets without a prescription ..don't about missing one or two pills....the ones you misplaced are bound to be found somewhere!

If you don't find them I'm sure your GP will write another scrip!

I have just found them so all is OK. My GP was closed this afternoon for time to learn but when I looked again just a few minutes ago I found them.

Hi, I'm so happy you found them. I am sure your doctor would have given you a replacement prescription as we all lose things and make mistakes occasionally xx
