Is it better...

[daisyduke76]

...to take too much folic acid or not enough?

I genuinely cannot remember if I took my folic acid this morning or not. Is it better to risk missing it, or to take double?

I'm sure I didn't used to be this forgetful! Any advice gratefully received!

Thanks

If you are on an over the counter suppliment is it fine - they are just 400mg.

I was on a prescribed highdose FA though so would have probably just skipped a day!

Thanks ladies - I'll take one now just in case then. Honestly, I used to have a really good memory, but at the moment I can barely remember my own name!

Thanks again,

I personally wouldn't, as I wouldn't with any meds or supplements x

You should never take double of any medication it should tell you that in the leaflet with it.
Tbh I didn't even start taking them until I was 2months as that's
When I found out. so wouldn't worry to much if you forget some times. (Iv been taken off them now anyways)

I think it's better to not take for one day than double dose

Thanks all, I've not taken "another". I can't believe I can't remember whether I took one or not! I guess I will have to get used to these momentary lapses!

If it's a over the counter dose your fine, I am on a 5mg tablet prescribed and an over the counter dose in my pregnancy vitamin and this is with the knowledge and permission of the OB. If you are already on a high dose don't take it just in case!
