Prenatal vitamins: Whether or not a prescription is needed for a prenatal vitamin depends upon how much Folic Acid is in the tablet. Over the counter tabs have less than prescription brands. It is not unreasonable to start the otc brand and when you are evaluated by your obstetrician, the decision as to whether or not you need the higher dose of folate (folic acid) based on you blood studies can be made.
