Thank you for your questions.
First and foremost, congratulation for your pregnancy. For your information, pregnant lady requires 1000mg calcium daily. If your are able to drink milk naturally, a glass of milk a day is sufficient to provide the correct amount of calcium daily.
Even though this medication/supplement can be purchased from pharmacies over-the-counter, we highly suggest that you still refer to health professionals including the pharmacist regarding the suitability of the medication for your existing health status.
