How to take folic acid tablets

Patient's question:

Hello, this folic acid tablet, the instructions say 1 to 3 times a day. Can I take it according to this instruction?

Doctor's answer:

Before pregnancy, it is recommended that you take folic acid supplements. It is better to eat "Silian" brand folic acid tablets, which are specifically for pregnant women. The supplementation of folic acid should be done in the three months before pregnancy and the three months after pregnancy to prevent early neural tube defects in the fetus. As for when to take folic acid during the day, whether before or after meals, there are generally no strict requirements. If a pregnant woman can take folic acid at a fixed time each day, it should be easier to remember to take it.
