I m 3.5mnth pregnant and doctor asked me to start iron tablets orofer xt which has 1.1 mg folic acid but asked to stop taking folic acid. plz suggest.

Folic acid: Chances are your physician prescribed a product with both folic acid and iron and is asking you not to take additional folic acid. If the iron bill he/she gave you has 1.1mg of folic acid, that's all you need. Most women need between 0.4mg and 1mg of folic acid.
