Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello doctor, I am 3 months 1 week pregnant now. I am taking Folsafe tablet from starting of my check up. I just went for my 3 months check up. Doctor told to continue the same medicine for one more month. Wherein I heard that from 4 months we should take iron tablet. Kindly clarify my doubt. Is it safe to take Folsafe for one more month or shall ask the doctor to prescribe iron tablet. Thanks.
Folsafe contains folic acid as well as other vitamins,. The folic acid is very important in pregnancy , it helps with reduce birth defects in the baby's brain and spinal cord.
Iron is also important, there is no reason that you cannot use both. Many pregnancy vitamins contain a combination of iron and folic acid along with other vitamins.
I hope this helps
