Taking both your iron tablet (with 1.5 mg of folic acid) and Folinext (which has 5 mg of folic acid) brings your total daily intake to 6.5 mg. For most people, this is higher than necessary unless your doctor has specifically prescribed this high dose for a medical reason. Since folic acid is water-soluble, any excess is usually gently flushed out by your body, so please don't worry. However, to be safe, I recommend speaking with your doctor before combining them to ensure you are getting the exact amount your body needs right now.

Is it safe to take my iron tablets containing 1.5 mg of folic acid together with Folinext (5 mg of folic acid), or is that too much?
