Folic acid help in absorption of Iron.
It is taken with iron preparations.
First of all check your Hb , then start any medication.
You can take Surbax T .
Improve your diet.
These are common side effects of iron tablets. If you cannot tolerate these medications then you can change medicines. Contact me online for detailed history and proper medication
Folic acid is a safe vitamin but some people get stomach pain or loose motion when they start it.
Since you also feel stomach upset with Fefol or Surbex-Z, it looks like these vitamins don’t suit your stomach.
My advice:
Stop the folic acid for now.
If you want to try again, take it after meal, not empty stomach.
Use only 400 mcg folic acid (the one in picture is fine).
If pain or loose motion comes again, then don’t use it.
You only need folic acid if you are planning pregnancy or have deficiency on test.
If you want a mild option, take “Folic Acid 400 mcg Life Sciences” after lunch.
stop using it u can take cap myfol
you can try taking vitamin b complex syrup which has folate.
take any other alternative.
