Can I take Becosules-Z during pregnancy?

Q: Is it safe to take Becosules-Z (Indian brand of multi-vitamin) during pregnancy? If not, then which multi-vitamin should I take?

A:There is no harm in taking Becosules-Z (a combination of B complex vitamins, calcium, vitamin C, zinc and folic acid) during pregnancy. However, if the haemoglobin level is low, then one would also need to take iron. In such a situation, it is preferable to take a product that contains iron and folic acid such as JP Tone TR.
