Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
A high dose of folvite is given in the prenatal period to avoid neural tube defects in the baby. The dosage of 5mg is appropriate for this purpose. Please do not worry and continue with the treatment.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
