Hi all, I got SLE and RA. I’ve been taking the following medications for the past 3 years as I have been trying to get pregnant without any success. Is it ok to keep taking folic acid 5mg or shall I reduce it to the normal dosage 400microgram? Thanks.

Hi Sezvic ,

I'm afraid that we are not medically qualified here so we cannot advise you about this. Your local pharmacist may be able to help with this if you are unable to speak with your doctor.
