Q: Why should women start taking Felm XT Tablet before they become pregnant?

A:Maintaining the right level of iron and folic acid in the body before getting pregnant reduces the risk of developing neural tube defects in the baby. The neural tube effect, in most cases, occurs when the structure (neural tube) from which the central nervous system develops (brain and spinal cord) in a baby does not form or is only partially closed. Full closure of the neural tube occurs at the end of the fourth week of pregnancy. Folic acid helps in the formation of neural tubes. Therefore, to prevent this defect, women should start Felm XT Tablet four weeks before pregnancy.

A:Yes, you can breastfeed while taking Felm XT Tablet, as it is not harmful to the baby. Felm XT Tablet contains folic acid as an active ingredient, which is naturally found in breast milk. It also contains iron, but iron does not pass through breast milk. Though initial levels of folic acid in breast milk are low, it eventually rises. Since it is actively secreted in breast milk, the mother may take Felm XT Tablet every day to maintain the required levels. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions related to nutrient supplementation in breastfeeding.

Q: When should I take Felm XT Tablet, in the morning or at night?

A:You can take Felm XT Tablet any time of the day, but try to take it at the same time each day. This will help you remember to take it. Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The medicine should be swallowed as a whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, cut, or crush the medicine.
