Question

What do folic acid supplements and iron supplements have in common? They are used together to treat cases of septicemia. Both are frequently prescribed for cases of anemia. They are used to maintain a healthy level of leukocytes. Both are often prescribed to inhibit platelet aggregation.

Answer 1

Both are frequently prescribed for cases of anemia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Iron supplements are often prescribed together with folic acid supplements in order to treat anemia (lack of red blood cells in the body), particularly "Folic Acid Anemia" and "Iron Deficiency Anemia." The former is cause by lack of folic acid, which is essential for making new red blood cells while the latter is cause by lack of iron, which is an important part of hemoglobin. Having an anemia makes people fatigue, have headaches, difficulty breathing and so on. Thus, it is very important for the person to take some supplements.
