Do I stop taking folic acid for prenatal vitamins only or do I continue with my folic acid only?

Question

I am currently 6 weeks pregnant. I have been taking folic acid tablets for several months. At this stage of my pregnancy, should I now only take prenatal vitamins and stop taking my folic acid tablets or can I just continue taking my folic acid tablets?

Hello Mrs., you can continue the folic acid alone if you wish, unless your doctor advises otherwise. Make sure you eat a lot of fruits and vegetables and add a lot of color to your plate. I invite you to consult your pharmacist to check the dose of folic acid you are taking, which may vary depending on your condition and your health history. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
