Brief Answer:
Can take the iron tablets
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Yes she can very well take the new tablets as prescribed as folic acid is very safe.
She can consume the leftover tablets as before without fear and hopefully she will recover from anaemia soon but in case she doesnt by next week then consult your gynecologist and do the needful as advised.

Brief Answer:
Precautions advised
Detailed Answer:
Though this very salt of iron has no effect on calcium absorption and vice the versa but still I would like her to take calcium tablet in afternoon and iron in morning and night.
Ask her to take vitamin C tablets or just simple fresh lemon juice along with iron to enhance its absorption.
all the best
