I am trying to get pregnant. can i take 5 mg of folic acid tablets daily? i cannot find a lower dosage at the pharmacy. thanks.

Sure: Most prenatal vitamins have abut 1 mg of Folic acid. You could get your folic acid just by taking a prenatal vitamin. It is ok to take 5 mg tablets. I am not sure what doses are available in Singapore but 1 mg tablets are more common in the US.
