Cal 123 dosage in pregnancy

2025-09-20 06:03:48
Hi Doctor, Hi doctor, I am 5 month pregnant.Due to pain in round ligament while changing sides when sleeping, doctor has prescribed me cal 123 two times a day. I can see it contains 1250 mg of calcium and 2000 IU vit d3. So twice the dosage of it in the same day will be safe or not? Please suggest.

Yes don’t take twice a day Take only once a day Per day around 1000mg is required although WHO recommends around 1200 mg
Next Steps
Take once a day only
Health Tips
Avoid high-caffeine drinks (coffee/tea) around the same time, as they slightly reduce absorption. Morning after breakfast: Iron/folic acid After lunch or evening: Calcium + vitamin D
