•Potential interactions with anticonvulsant medications (e.g., phenytoin) or methotrexate, where high folate can reduce drug efficacy; not recommended without medical supervision.
•Suitable for pregnancy under medical guidance for folate needs, but excessive intake may pose risks to fetal development; avoid in children or elderly without personalized dosing.
