My doctor prescribed Coedhea Plus to help me conceive, but I am concerned about its dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) content. Could you suggest a safe alternative medicine that provides the recommended 400 mcg daily dose of folic acid?

It is completely reasonable to be cautious about DHEA, as it is a hormone often used to support ovarian reserve but may not be suitable for everyone. If you wish to avoid DHEA, a standard preconception supplement is a safe and excellent alternative. You can ask your doctor about switching to plain Folic Acid tablets (400 mcg), active folate supplements like Folvite, or standard prenatal multivitamins (such as Pregnacare) which provide the recommended 400 mcg of folic acid without any added hormones. Please consult your gynecologist before making the switch to ensure it aligns with your specific fertility plan.
