Hello sir. Is it ok to take fefol z, shelcal, and a to z gold capsule in 2nd trimester? Hb is 9.5,and should I take fefol z bd or not?

Question

Hi lybrate-user, fefol z contains iron, b9 and zinc while a to z contain all vitamins. Now you have some degree of anemia. I would recommend iron tablet twice a day. Shelcal also twice a day but a to z is not necessary if you are taking a healthy balanced diet. I hope you have gotten a diet chart. Secondly vitamin d supplementation is important also hopefully you are taking a bough protiens in a day.

Hi. Yes, you can take these medicine. Take iron tablet twice daily and make sure not to take iron calcium together, keep a gap of at least 2 hours between the two. Have jaggery with roasted Chana, have green leafy vegetables and cook food in iron utensils. You can also add Vitamin C tablet once daily, for better iron absorption.

You can take both fefol z and shelcal twice daily. Also since hb is only 9.5, have you got hb electrophoresis done to rule out thal trait?
