Overdose of Folic Acid

2020-09-30 11:38:07
I was taking L-methylfolate (it has 1 mg methylfolate) till 13th week of my pregnancy. During 14th week doctor asked me to take 2 Doxinate Plus tablets (it has 5 mg folic acid) for vomiting and nausea. But by mistake i took 2 Doxinate Plus tablets along with L-methylfolate for 1 month. I am soooo worried beacuse of this. Does it cause any harm to my baby ?
