They are preventive drugs for pregnant and lactating women. Studies have shown that pregnant women taking folic acid tablets during pregnancy can reduce the rate of neural tube defects in the fetus by 85%. This result has been widely used in more than 50 countries around the world. Impurity research is a key pharmaceutical research content throughout the life cycle of drugs. As a drug taken by pregnant women, the study of its impurity spectrum is particularly critical.

During the long-term stability sampling of folic acid tablets, an impurity with a relative retention time of about 4.5 times that of folic acid was detected. The content showed an increasing trend and exceeded the identification threshold of 0.2% for the preparation. The ICH guidelines indicate that the amount of impurities exceeding the 0.2% limit has reached the limit that may cause harm to the human body, and the impurity should be structurally identified and its content controlled.
