Vitamins & Folic Acid

Take a vitamin tablet daily. This applies to the woman as well as to the man. Folic acid (0.4 mg daily) reduces the risk of having a baby with neural tube defects. Folic acid is also good for men with reduced semen quality.

We recommend: That the woman takes 0.4 mg of folic acid daily from three months before treatment start and during her pregnancy. In case the woman has had a child with neural tube defect or is taking medication against epilepsy, 5 mg folic acid might be recommended. Please, consult your GP.
