Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Usually Folic acid tablets are prescribed around 1 to 3 months before planning for pregnancy. So if you are planning for pregnancy along with the treatment of PCOD, you can take Folic acid tablets. If you are concerned only with the treatment of PCOD the medicines prescribed by your doctor is sufficient and no need to take additional Folic acid tablets.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
