Does trifol-plus have any side effects???? Can it delay the menstrual cycle? I was prescribed to take trufol tablets. I had to stop it as my periods was getting delayed. I am TTC so I am a bit worried as I know the importance of taking folic acid tablets. Kindly guide me.
Hi, Generally it is well tolerated. Trifol-Plus is a multivitamin (folic acid, methylcobalamin and pyridoxine) formulation commonly prescribed to treat the deficiency states of these vitamins like anemia during pregnancy. Whereas trefoil contains only folic acid and used to treat its deficiency states. Generally these vitamins are well tolerated however their common side effects include heartburn, nausea, bitter or bloating sensation. They are no known to cause a delayed menstrual cycle. Delayed period could be due to some other reasons like stress, recent job change, undue exercise or hormonal disturbances like thyroid or ovarian diseases. You should consult your doctor to determine the cause of delayed period and its treatment. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
