I have been unable: to find a rationale for you to avoid folic acid while taking Fansidar. Precautions suggest that if folic acid deficiency is present or develops, especially causing megaloblastic anemia, that Fansidar should be avoided. From my reading, a prenatal vitamin should be ok. But I suggest your best bet is to ask the prescriber...perhaps there is something unique in your situation. Good wishes:)
