Anti-Spina Bifida

Medicinal activity for anti-spina bifida involves the use of medications to reduce the risk of developing the condition. This can include taking folic acid supplements, which helps to prevent neural tube defects. In addition, some medications may be prescribed to reduce the chance of developing spina bifida. These medications include hydroxyurea, aspirin, and progestin. Hydroxyurea helps to reduce the risk of neural tube defects by preventing the fusion of the neural tube during early pregnancy. Aspirin and progestin are used to prevent spina bifida in women who are at a higher risk of developing the condition. Aspirin helps to reduce the risk of neural tube defects by preventing the fusion of the neural tube during early pregnancy, while progestin helps to reduce the risk of developing spina bifida by increasing the production of a hormone that helps to close the neural tube. All of these medications help to reduce the risk of spina bifida, although they cannot completely prevent it.
