Folic acid supplementation before pregnancy

Patient's question:

I asked the doctor to prescribe folic acid for me because I plan to get pregnant in the early next year. After paying, I realized the doctor prescribed me "Aervi Compound Vitamin Tablets." The instructions on the packaging state "For pregnant and postpartum women only." Could you please ask the doctor if I can take this since I am not currently pregnant, but planning to get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, eat with peace of mind, because most of this compound vitamin pill is water-soluble vitamin, so you can eat it with peace of mind. However, you need to drink more water. If you eat too much of this vitamin, it will be excreted through urine. So don't worry. Although the daily required amount is 200 to 400, you can't guarantee that you will absorb 400 by eating 400. So just take 800 mg, it's fine.
