Hi, thank you for reaching us.

We understand your concern regarding your condition. For your information, it is alright if you never had your folic acid supplement before as some of the food you ate before might contain folic acid as well. However, if you are pregnant, it is important that you adhere to the doctors’ instruction and take the folic acid supplement prescribed by them as folic acid may reduce the risk of having complication during pregnancy, especially to the child.

You are advised to see a doctor to do confirmatory test and investigation to see whether you are pregnant or not.

If you have any further question, do not hesitate to contact us regarding your inquiries at (DoctorOnCall) to have a detailed explanation by our doctors. Thank you.
