It is recommended to take the smallest effective dose to avoid withdrawal effects in the newborn. It is important to discuss any plans for pregnancy with your doctor and ensure you are taking folic acid before conception. Many women have safely continued taking this medication during pregnancy without any complications. Typically, the baby will be monitored closely during pregnancy and delivery to ensure their well-being.
