Medication

Hi I’m currently 9 weeks pregnant, I was prescribed folic acid, adcal D3 (calcium) and iron tablets (ferrous sulphate). I have been taking 2 capsules of the Adcal D3 twice daily as it says on the bottle. But I feel like I’m taking too much medication at once I’ve googled and contacted GP but they don’t seem to be giving a clear answer Someone please help me 😩❤️

They're just vitamins. If your body doesn't use them or need them you'll just pee them out. They wouldn't prescribe them if it were too much or potentially harmful to you or baby

@Jayda I'd just take the iron at night and the others in the morning. It's totally fine to take them. If you're deficient you absolutely need them. Especially during pregnancy. Low iron makes you so exhausted! Also don't forget to get plenty of sunshine and vit D so you can properly absorb that calcium, actually maybe your calcium tablets have vit D already for that 🤣

Ahhh okay. Should I be taking the iron one twice daily? Xx

You need to take the Adcal and iron tablets at different times of day as it can affect the absorption xx

Yeah I’ve be diagnosed with low iron deficiency that’s why they’ve prescribed me ferrous sulphate it says on the box to take one tablet twice a day but I feel as though it’s too much to be taking. Yeah the folic acid is fine to take but is it okay to take adcal d3 and iron tablets at once? Im a first time mum so im just worrying about everything. 😩

They're just vitamins I wouldn't be too worried. Have you been diagnosed deficient in those vitamins? Folic acid would just be to support a healthy baby.
