I use Target brand doc said they were fine. My copay is $16 for her to write the rx or $5 for 80 generic. Wish I had known the first time to get generic!

Yes they're safe, make sure they have folic acid, that's the most important.

My doctor won't prescribe prenatals. Instead I buy mine at a pharmacy like cvs, walgreens, or walmart.
