Hi Doctor,
Hi doctor, I am 5 month pregnant.Due to pain in round ligament while changing sides when sleeping, doctor has prescribed me cal 123 two times a day. I can see it contains 1250 mg of calcium and 2000 IU vit d3. So twice the dosage of it in the same day will be safe or not? Please suggest.

Health Tips
Avoid high-caffeine drinks (coffee/tea) around the same time, as they slightly reduce absorption.
Morning after breakfast: Iron/folic acid
After lunch or evening: Calcium + vitamin D
