You need a prescription for them because they have 1 M of folic acid, an amount which requires a scrip. The OTC pre-natals and women's vitamins usually have up to 400 mcg. Most recommendations I have heard for avoiding spinal malformations in fetuses is to get at least 400 mcg per day. So OTC is probably all right. But I just went with what she recommended.
Dang, this reminds me that I need to get a new GYN due to insurance changes. I'm devastated by that. I LOVE my doc. She is the best. sigh
