Hi Sana,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Myfol tablet contains
folic acid, which is one of the essential water soluble vitamin.
Folic acid as a single supplement, is given for women who are pregnant or trying to conceive.
For women trying to conceive, taking folic acid in the form of 5-methyl tetrahydrofolate (5MTHF) is highly important to increase odds of
pregnancy.
It helps to keep the ovarian tissues healthy and
aids in proper ovulation process, thus improving the chances of conceiving.
Further, you should continue taking it until you are 12 weeks pregnant. It is been proven to greatly reduce the risk of babies developing potentially serious brain and
spinal cord problems such as
spina bifida.
Hence, kindly take the medication as prescribed.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
