Re: prescription prenatal vitamins vs. over the counter

OTC which is what my ob/gyn said to take.

Target brand to be exact (they are easy to swallow, not so huge like some others)

Re: prescription prenatal vitamins vs. over the counter

Dr gave me a prescription for them. I went to pick them up and pharmacist told me to save the $50 co-pay and go buy cheap ones at Target or Walmart (which i did). I guess either way can give people peace of mind.

I was taking One A Day, but they hurt my stomach so I am just taking a regular multi-vitamin and a folic acid supplement.

I just started on Vita Natal which is 2 pills - a Prenatal and Omega 3. My Dr. gave me samples so I haven't had to fill the RX yet. I take them at night and have not stomach issues from them.

Re: prescription prenatal vitamins vs. over the counter

I have been taking prentals for almost 2 years, i used to take prima care one which i loved. But my Copay was 50$ so that adds up. I switched to Target Prenatal. And my doctor said it was perfectly fine. She said their is absolutely no difference between Rx and OTC.

Re: prescription prenatal vitamins vs. over the counter

i have no copay, so maybe i should go out and get a prescription when the time comes...right now i am taking womens multivitamins. when those run out i will either get a prescription or buy the target prenatals.
