How long folvite 5 mg i.e foloc acid supplement is safe to use during pregnancy? Am in 14th week of pregnancy doc has started iron and calcium but 20 tablets are left in the strip so asked me to continue with that. So is it safe to take folvite 5mg after 14th week with iron and calcium supplements. Also calcium and iron supplemets have been adviced to take through out pregnancy. Is it safe to take sucj medicines for longer time? Wont it later affect my health or has any side effects?
