Yes you have to take iron and folic acid seperately.

Iron tablets contain folic acid in very little quantity which may not be sufficient for the baby's growth. Hence, one should have both. Though consult your doctor once.

my doc told me to have folic acid for starting 3-4 months...then after I started having iron <u>tablets</u>....btw folic acid tabs also helps in reducing nausea, vomiting, sickness etc that happens in first trimester....

Hi. I just followed my gynec. She gave me folic and only after iron. It depends on case. Whether you need seperate tablets pls check with your dr
