Good evening..
All are almost similar , every syrup has folic acid .. u can take Syp smuth 15 ml bedtime daily to prevent constipation and eat high fibre diet .
Drink plenty of water.
I don’t know y only folic acid for u , it depends on the probelm u have for which doctor advised.
so if ur taking for iron improvement (haemoglobin) then u can take Tab. Livogen daily once before food.
