Doubt on medicine
Hello Doctor , m 11 weeks pregnant. When I got to know that I conceived my doctor prescribed folnew tablet (5mg+200mg+1.5mg+1500mcg) to take everyday after lunch. Due to lock down I couldnot fine folnew medicines in store so I consulted my doctor and she prescribed Folvite 5mg. But the problem is its only 5mg.i already stated taking it since 15 days and I didnot inform abt the power of the tablet. Is that ok to take everyday after lunch . Pls let me know
