There are two strong arguments supporting an integrated curriculum. First, there is simply too much information to be covered in the traditional structure of a forty or fifty minute class period. Secondly, most subjects are taught to students in isolation from other related information.
Because women taking carbamazepine have a higher risk of having a baby with a neural tube defect, healthcare providers recommended that all women taking carbamazepine take a total of 4-5mg of folic acid before and. during pregnancy. This may help reduce the risk of birth defects in pregnancies exposed to carbamazepine.
Taking folic acid before and during early pregnancy can help prevent neural tube defects in your baby. Before pregnancy, take a multivitamin that has 400 micrograms (also called mcg) of folic acid in it every day. During pregnancy, take a prenatal vitamin that has 600 mcg of folic acid in it every day.
