Suggest Treatment For Microcytic Beta Trait Anemia
Hi, I am 2nd time pregnant. My first baby had a cleft palate. I also have microcytic beta trait anemia. My doctor has recommended 5mg of Folic Acid. The chemist has given 400 mcg Folic Acid pills. Over the internet, 400 mcg is mentioned as equivalent to 0.4mg. So should I take 12 pills a day? I have consulted my Gyne doctor but she didn t seem to have a clue about it. Please advise
