    You could alternate the days you take each vitamin. One day take the reccomended dose of Elevit, the next day take the recommended dose of the Blackmores, so on and so forth.

    I have taken blackmore breasfeeding gold which is 2 caps once day, I have also been taking fefol which contains iron and folate intermittenly during this PG in an attempted to keep my iron up as I became deficant by the third trimester during my last PG

    Hey ladies,
    Thanks for the responses, I went out and got the blackmores preg gold, so taking that now, I now have the blackmores folate/iodine blend though that I don't need! My local mychemist wouldn't exchange it and I don't want to drive an hr just to return them to where I bought them! Silly woman giving me the wrong advice made me waste $20!

    Babyluv - iodine is found in dairy foods as well. It used to be loads more but the dairy industry changed their procedures and techniques. I ahve always taken Blackmores! I have also begun to use to iodine salt...just on things like pasta sauces, roasts etc. I also use it on my own tomatoes! I do worry about my boys developing a taste for salt as they have an aunt who drowns her food in salt (in this day and age of all things! Pft) so i kinda limit it but they love their dairy so I feel happy!

    As for your refund....I have had the same problem with other items I have bought from chemists and found that by going to the manufacturer etc I have found that they are most helpful and have been refunded 2 out of 3 items over the past few years. Also....if the bottle is not open, surely they will accept it back?! Hope you get your money back!
