Sincethe FdA in the US doesn't investigate supplements we physicians are reluctant to ok them as possibilities of contaminants are real,. These could have harmful effects or interact with medications. Also effective or recommended doses may be way off and claims of efficacy aren't proven. I don't recommend your taking any prescription or nonprescription meds without approval of your obstetrician

One tablet should not be an issue. If you want to take anything daily or quite often, you need to check with your OB doctor.
