Whether you still need folvite alongside orofer xt and gemcal xt depends on exactly what's already included in your current prescription.
Next Steps
Please call your doctor's clinic to confirm this specific point, since only they know your full prescription plan.
Health Tips
Don't restart or stop any tablet on your own without that confirmation, even if it seems like a small change.
