prenatal vitamin problems

Every month mine are changed and not because of my doctor but because of medicaid and the Walgreens down here ***** I have to call the doctors for them and get another approved they didn't even have the doctor office number they had been trying the fax number which is the dumbest thing I ever heard but it's their story is it safe to switch this much is any body else dealing with this

It's because medicade is cheap and they don't want to pay for the expensive kind... and the pharmacy needs to get an okay for whatever brand medicade switches you to. .. it's a pain

Ask your doctor to give you a couple months supple prescription at a time that way it saves you time,you wont have to worry about it for a few months. Mine are also over the counter so I've never had to deal with any of this.

Mine are OTC and contain 800mcg of folic acid, which is 100% of the recommended daily value... No iron though, I don't need it

Is there a reason you had to have them prescribed? I just found one over the counter that met all the requirements
