Planning to get pregnant – Start Taking Tab Folic Acid

Folic Acid is Vitamin B9

Folic acid tablets reduce the risk of having a baby born with a Neural Tube Defect such as spina bifida.

There is an evidence that folic acid reduces the risk of having a baby born with a cleft lip and palate, a heart defect (congenital heart disease), and the risk of a premature (‘prem’, preterm, or early) labour. To be effective it should be started before conception and should continue till first 3 months of pregnancy.

Some women need higher doses of folic acid as compared to others.
