Hello!
These medications are prenatal tablets and should start using them while trying to conceive and also to be continued during the pregnancy. Dosage of Folic acid and others like vitamin d differ depending on the condition of the patient.

Folitas is plain Folic acid where as Istafol D has DHA in addition which is good for baby’s brain growth. Hence if you have crossed 3 mths then Folic acid plus DHA combination is a preferred one.
