Pregnancy- taking folic acid

2018-01-05 05:51:43
Hi, My wife has been prescribed folic acid 5mg. In prescription it is not clear if it has to be taken once daily or twice daily. The doctor is out of station for a week and we are not able to reach her. Can you please confirm if 5mg twice daily Folic acid is safe during pregnancy?
