What is the difference between prescription prenatal vitamins and OTC prenatal vitamins?

Today I bought my first 1-month's supply of prenatal vitamins. At Walgreens, they were $45.00, even after my insurance salaried part of the cost. They told me that in that is no generic alternative. However, I see that GNC has prenatal vitamins that are over-the-counter, offered for smaller amount that $15.00. The two vitamins seem to own the same largest ingreedients for the most part, and within very close percentage. Is there an outstanding common sense that the prescription vitamins are better for me? Please don't tell me to "ask my doctor"....explicitly a given---I am just trying to plan how to pay packet for all these vitamins.

One probable issue is because the prescription ones are chemically assayed to prove they contain consistent levels of the nutrients you involve. Most supplements you find in stores are not assayed and may vary from the amount of nutrients down on the bottle by 100s of percent.

I think if you've read the label carefully and the ingredients are indistinguishable and the percentages are pretty much inwardly 5% of each other (folic sharp and iron being the most important), you should jump for the cheaper brand. :) You could ask the pharmacist what he/she thinks too.

Nothing really , you can lift the gummy "kids" vitamins , or the chewables. But I do know that prenatal vitamins have a bit more folic acid surrounded by them. Talk with your OB doctor in the region of your options....

There's no difference. By have a "prescription" allows you to have them covered by your insurance, which is different for everyone, some insurance plans will cover the in one piece cost, others will only rate for part.
When your doctor fill out a prescription, it's like describing the insurance company that you need this as you would an antibiotic or a drug for hypertension and they own to pay for it as they would for any other "prescription" drug. You perceptibly know that you can't go to GNC, buy the vitamins and afterwards tell your insurance company to remuneration for it if you don't have a prescription, they won't believe that you want it for health reason, but rather as a perk, as if you go and bought a bag of chips.
Be certainly certain that doesn`t matter what you buy contains exactly the same ingredients and percentage. Vitamins/supplements don't help, especially during pregnancy, when you don't purloin the recommended dose and they can actually impair you if you take too much.
Hope this help! Good luck with your pregnancy!

My OB/GYN told me that children's multi vitamins are the best. The solely thing prescription prenatals present is TONS of iron - which made me puke like cracked. I ended up taking the Gummy-Vits. They are gummy tolerate vitamins.
