  schema:description "Folic acid is important in pregnancy, but during cancer treatment it can work against some drugs: it can blunt methotrexate used to treat cancer and has been linked to more severe side effects with capecitabine. It is not the same as the folinic acid (leucovorin) that oncologists deliberately give with some chemotherapy. Tell your team before taking it."@en ;
