Is it okay to take my prenatal vitamin and my metformin at the same time, before going to bed? or do any of them lose effectiveness?

OK but...: As far as i can tell metformin does not interact with vitamins but you will likely get more benefit from you prenatal vitamin by taking it earlier in the day. Prenatal vitamins contain b vitamins which can often increase your energy and some people may have trouble sleeping if they take them in the evening.
