I am 20 weeks pregnant and currently taking Milical, but the tablets are too big to swallow. Can you please suggest a smaller-sized alternative medicine?
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Milical is a calcium and vitamin D3 supplement. Since the tablets are too large to swallow, there are several pregnancy-safe alternatives you can discuss with your doctor or pharmacist: 1. Chewable Tablets: Calcium chewables (such as Tums or Calcichew) are easy to take without swallowing whole. 2. Effervescent Tablets: These dissolve completely in water. 3. Liquid Calcium: Liquid formulations are easy to ingest. Alternatively, ask your pharmacist if your current Milical tablets can be safely crushed or split. Always consult your obstetrician before switching to ensure the new alternative provides the correct daily dosage of calcium needed for your pregnancy.
