Sir, I am 3 months pregnant now. I started taking iron supplementation which is a combination of iron and folic acid (0.5 mg). So should I take the regular folic acid tablet (5 mg)? Thank you.

iron supplement which you are taking already contains folic acid so there is no requirement for you to take it separately so just continue iron and calcium alone
