Hello,
The medication you have been prescribed is sufficient but you also need to supplement calcium. Please ask your consultant obstetrician to prescribe calcium supplements. Take plenty of milk, fresh fruits and vegetables. The amount of iron required is based on the prenatal status of iron reserves in the body and if you are anemic, you will need additional supplementation. Wish you good health.
