Hi Dear,

I would like to know if your stomach pain and loose motions started after all these above medicines?

Folvite contains folic acid which is given during first 12 weeks of pregnacy ,to decreases the chances of having a baby with a brain or spine defect.
Macalvit is calcium supplement ,Cobadex is Multivitamins and Threptin is protein biscuits for weight gain.

As you are only 7 weeks into your pregnancy now ,please continue with folic acid and stop all the others .

Calcium is usually taken after 20 weeks as maximum baby bone growth occurs after that.Also protein and multivitamin is better then.

Iron tablets should also be taken after 16 weeks as by then the patient is not suffering from Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy.

Iron can cause nausea ,vomiting,constipation or diarrhoea ,which can cofuse with pregnancy nausea vomiting if given in first 12 weeks.
similarly calcium can cause loose motions .

Every medicine has an effect and side effect. Healthy Diet and positive outlook ,(if you don't have iron calcium and vitamin deficiency) is more helpful and adequate.

Hope this helps.Regards.
