Hello. Tot'héma is used to prevent iron deficiency in pregnant women at the recommended dose of 50 mg of iron (1 ampoule) per day during the last 2 trimesters of pregnancy or beginning in the fourth month of pregnancy.
However, for instructions on how to use drugs as well as iron supplements suitable for pregnancy, you should see your Obstetrician for advice.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards!
