Why Are Folinal Tablets Prescribed During Early Pregnancy?
Hi, Today, my wife got a positive result in the pregnancy check. The gynecologist asked us to have FOLINAL medicine for next 30 days. Why this tablet is used for? Is there any side effects?

Hi,
That is a normal thing doctor prescribes Folinal tablets in order to maintain proper hemoglobin levels in pregnant women. It further helps to prevent miscarriage, birth defects in the child, cleft lip etc. There is nothing to worry and side effects are minor. This drug is for the safety of your wife and your new child.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
