I have 13gms of haemoglobin. i am worried that taking in orofer xr would affect the ababy complexion. Can you please guide if i am worrying unnecesarily or my worry makes some sense?
Your doctor has prescribed you right drugs and orofer xt contains iron (ferrous ascorbate) and folic acid. This drug by no way affects your baby complexion. In fact it is very important drug to be taken by pregnant women during pregnancy.
Even though your Hb is not low, it is better to take this iron preparation as a prophylaxis to prevent anemia.
Calcimax is a calcium supplement and it is also wont affect your baby complexion. All pregnant women need calcium supplements to meet the increased demand of the body
So, with out any fear or worry take these tablets, which are very much essential for a pregnant women.
