Sponsor's own description
Folic acid is a palatable and easily available drug with no serious adverse effects. L-methylfolate is its biologically activated form and is preferred because of its direct availability for certain metabolic processes. As there is no specific and safe drug available that may help in decreasing the duration of diarrhea, purging rate or consistency of stools; and having known the theoretical benefits of folic acid in this regard, it would be appropriate to assess the effectiveness of L-methylfolate among children with diarrhea.
