The usual folic acid tablets on their own contain 5mg I think. But that’s way more than required. Your supplements should be adequate. You can also eat foods with natural folic acid (can google that 😊) so you don’t have to take so many tablets

Thank you

5mg daily. U should take doc advice as normal supplements dosage not high enough. U can double check against your supplement. Was previously taking Blackmores Conceive Well but showed my gynae and he pointed out the dosage was too little.

I stopped taking the other prenatal supplements I bought from the drugstores and only took the folic acid from my gynae. The dosage is 5mg.

Same. When I told my dr my multivitamins had folic acid, he didn’t prescribe for me additional. Just trust your dr!

Your multvitamins may not have sufficient dosage of folic acid. Do check. Usually the OTC supplements are very Low in folic acid content, not anywhere 5mg

5 mg 1 tablets per day
