Elemental iron during pregnancy

2022-09-13 07:08:23
The iron supplement tablet I received from the government hospital earlier was equivalent to elemental iron of 100 mg but now they're giving a new one in capsule form which is only 50 mg. How much iron should I take? I'm in the 18th week of pregnancy.

If it’s 50 mg, then take it twice a day.
