General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello.
Thank you for contacting HCM.

I have gone through your question an I will try my best to give a satisfactory answer.

The medicine Folison has the salt folic acid which is highly recommended esp. during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy as it helps in preventing neural tube defects such as spina bifida or other congenital malformations such as cleft lip or cleft palate in the baby.

I would strongly recommend your compliance to the antenatal vitamins.

I hope this answers your question. If you have any concern please feel free to contact HCM again.
Wishing your and your baby good health.
