Folic acid dose?: The over the counter prenatal pills usually have only 800 micrograms of folic acid in them. Prescription pre natal pills have one full milligram which is the recommended dosage to prevent neural tube defects in pregnancy. See a OB GYN at a visit to establish a relationship, tell him/her your future conception plans and obtain a prenatal Rx so you won't have to wait to conceive.
