Hello,

The folinext with folic acid is essential for pregnancy and fetus development particularly of neurologic portion and the Shelcal is containing needed calcium for bone growth of fetus. There are no obvious hazardous side effects to worry to consume such medications, just have to continue as per the recommended dosage and be in regular follow up with your OBGYN.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
