Can a woman take Pp26 tablets to prevent a fetus's cleft lip?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had an abortion before 10 days due to a major cleft lip and palate to the child.

  1. When can I start planning to conceive again?
  2. Can I take a Pp26 tablet and CC74 tablet before three months of pregnancy to prevent this defect?

I have attached my report.

Please suggest.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Yes, it is important to take the above folic acid supplement to prevent cleft palate and lip and also neurological defects in the fetus. Take three months before conception and continue throughout pregnancy.

Good luck.
