hello,During pregnancy its always better to visit the doctor in person and ask for another option in case the one you are told is not available.I would suggest you another option Syrup Dexorange.I hope it will be available in your place if you are in India.I highly suggest you kindly visit your doctor before taking it as it contains high sugar so need to be careful before having that if you are a diabetic.As you have not mentioned any other things health related issues if any are there,I would suggest you first consult your doctor.it will be good for you and the baby to be safe and healthy through out the pregnancy.As your hemoglobin isn't what it should be during pregnancy,you should consider taking the medicine as soon as you are in 9th month already.
