Higher dose folic

[buggy1]

Hi

Just wondering if anyone in this section will have any experience of this.

After having a baby with severe neurological problems I've been advised to take a higher dose of FA from my GP. I took the regular dose while ttc and as soon as I found out I got the higher dose.

I wanted to take pregnacare too as I feel I need it but that says it contains 200% of your RDA of FA. With the 5mg I'm taking from the GP I don't want to over do it and cause more problems.

I spoke to someone from EPU and she said it was okay to take both because pregnacare only has a small amount of FA but going from the pack I'm not sure that is right.

Does anyone have any advice please?

Hi, I am on 5mg folic acid and also take pregnacare. I have been told it's not a problem as your body just uses what it needs and the rest comes out in your wee!
