See below: Women who are pregnant should discuss their elevated homocysteine levels with a doctor. It is recommended that all women of child-bearing age take a multivitamin containing 0.4 mg of Folic Acid per day to reduce the chance of neural tube defects in their children. A higher dosage of folic acid, usually 4 mg, may be recommended if you have elevated homocysteine levels before pregnancy.
