How It Works

Ferrous iron supports red blood cell production, preventing anemia. Folic acid is crucial for fetal neural tube development and DNA synthesis. Together, these nutrients support both maternal and fetal health during pregnancy.

Dosage

Typically, one capsule daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. Take with food to enhance absorption and reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Always follow your doctor’s specific dosing instructions.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include nausea, constipation, and darkening of stools. Less common effects can include stomach upset or allergic reactions. If you experience severe side effects, contact your healthcare provider.

Warning

Do not exceed the recommended dose. Not suitable for individuals with iron overload disorders or certain anemias not caused by iron deficiency. Consult your healthcare provider before use if you have a pre-existing medical condition or are taking other medications.

Interactions

May interact with certain antibiotics, thyroid medications, and calcium supplements. Avoid taking with tea, coffee, or dairy products as these can reduce iron absorption. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you’re taking.

Important Information

Start taking PregnAid before conception if possible, and continue throughout pregnancy as directed by your healthcare provider. Take with vitamin C-rich foods to enhance iron absorption. Keep out of reach of children, as iron overdose can be dangerous. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s close to your next scheduled dose. Do not double doses.
