Question: Hello,
I am 7 weeks pregnant and I am currently taking Rudimin (multivitamin tablets) twice a day and Folic acid tablet once a day. I started taking Women's Horlicks from today once a day - just wanted to ask if I can continue to take it or will it be harmful or can cause any troubles?

Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Woman's Horlicks is safe for consumption during pregnancy. The supplements that are present in it are routinely required during pregnancy also. You can continue taking Horlicks and Folic acid tablets. The multivitamin supplements also can be taken in addition to woman's horlicks. In case there is any nausea or vomiting then do consult your gynecologist for prescription of Doxylamine.

Wishing you good health.
