What Medications Are Recommended During First Trimester Of Pregnancy?

Folic acid and high protein diet
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Only folic acid 5 mg a day is the medication which has to be taken in the first trimester of pregnancy. In USA multivitamins are available for pregnancy by the name prenatal , etc. Those can also be taken. If she has any other medical illness like thyroid, diabetes or hypertension , the medications for them needs to be continued after consulting an OBGYN specialist.
She should have high protein diet including milk and milk products, eggs and meat (if non vegetarian), pulses and sprouts.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you both good health.
Regards
Dr Deepti Verma
