Add a footnote justifying the anaemia dosage

brynrhodes opened this issue · comments

The guideline text for Recommendation A.2.1 has the following remark:

If a woman is diagnosed with anaemia during pregnancy, her daily elemental iron should be increased to 120 mg until her Hb concentration rises to normal (Hb 110 g/L or higher). Thereafter, she can resume the standad daily antenatal iron dose to prevent recurrence of anaemia.

Include this remark as a footnote to the A.2.1 recommendation text.

Also, note that the Folic acid dosage in the pseudocode (functional description) is indicated as 2.8 ug (micrograms), it should be 2.8 mg.
