Yes, Autrin (which contains iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12) is commonly used during pregnancy, but please consult your obstetrician to ensure the dosage safely fits your prenatal routine. For calcium, generic calcium carbonate or calcium citrate are excellent, highly recommended options. To ensure your body absorbs both minerals effectively, please take your calcium supplement at least two hours apart from your Autrin, as calcium can interfere with iron absorption.
