A member asked:
Is it possible for me to use folic acid and ferrous without doctor's prescription during early pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: However, you might want to consult with the doctor as to they amount you need and the type you need as well. There are different types of Folic Acid and iron preparations. I recommend prenatal vitamins- since they have the prescribed amount of Folic Acid recommended to prevent neural tube defects in developing children. They also contain other vitamins and minerals for a growing embryo.
