Precautionary measures
In pernicious anemia, folic acid should only be used in conjunction with cyanocobalamin, since folic acid, by stimulating hematopoiesis, does not prevent the development of neurological complications (including funicular myelosis). Long-term use of folic acid (especially in high doses) is not recommended due to the risk of reducing the concentration of cyanocobalamin in the blood.
