Dear patient
First you need to confirm pregnancy by UPT (URINE PREGNANCY TEST )
Folic acid supplementation is given to prevent occurance of NTD (NEURAL FUBE DEFECTS )
Folic acid supplementation (4mg/day ) starting 4 weeks prior to conception up to 12 weeks of pregnancy is advised
Next Steps
tab macfolate contains only 1 mg of folate ..and the recommended dose is 4 mg till 12 weeks of pregnancy(this dosage will be less if you are taken macfolate once a day only )kindly consult your attending gynaecologist
