A. The folic acid medications are available as 400 µg tablets and you have to take it one on a daily basis. This is the usual recommended dose in the form of a prenatal vitaminWrite Your Answer Here

A. Folic acid is a pregnancy superhero! Taking a prenatal vitamin with the recommended 400 micrograms (mcg) of folic acid before and during pregnancy can help prevent birth defects of your baby's brain and spinal cord. Take it every day and go ahead and have a bowl of fortified cereal, too.
