suchisree,

Thank you for your question and Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Folvite is Folic Acid and Feronia XT is Iron. Your first trimester is crucial and development happens the fastest during this time so doctors are sometimes concerned about your diet. These two vitamins are absolutely essential both for you and even more for your baby. There is no harm in taking them, however the same cannot be said if you DON'T take them. Also, if you've had your bloodwork done, this may be why your doctor has recommended Feronia XT since it is taken for iron deficiency which can happen very often in pregnant women.

It is ok to take both.

Best Wishes!
