Can I just take a folic acid tablet instead of vitamins or is it really better to take vitamins?

Question

Hello! I'm 8 weeks & 4 days pregnant and my nausea has started slowly. Yesterday I had my first vomiting and I made the connection with my prenatal vitamin! I took it with food but even at that, I still get nauseous. It's hard on the stomach. Please note that I have been taking Diclectin for 3 weeks as prescribed on my bottle. 2 before bed, 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. Thanks a lot! :)

Hello, ma'am, Yes, you can take folic acid alone if the multivitamin is not tolerated. Folic acid tablets alone are available in pharmacies without prescription :) On the other hand, if your current dose of Diclectin is insufficient, I invite you to talk to your pharmacist, adjustments or modifications could be made according to the consultation. I hope this has been helpful to you, and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me! Tom Samaha, pharmacist We'd love to!
