Why should women start taking Feriaz-XT Tablet before becoming pregnant?
Maintaining adequate iron and folic acid levels in the body before pregnancy helps prevent neural tube defects (NTDs) in the baby. NTDs usually occur if the structure (neural tube) from which the central nervous system develops (brain and spinal cord) doesn't form or is only partially closed. Folic acid aids in forming neural tubes. Therefore, to prevent NTDs, women should start taking Feriaz-XT Tablet before four weeks of pregnancy.
