The article says that thiazides raise homocysteine levels (for which there is reasonable evidence), and goes on to say "It is recommended that patients receiving long-term thiazide treatments also receive folic acid supplements to combat the risk" without any citation. I can't find any source for this in treatment guidelines, drug labelling, or a couple of pharmacology reference books. Recommendations would probably differ by country according to how much folate fortification was in ordinary foods. 216.254.24.205 19:14, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
