    I would ask the dr's office, I use the chewable vitamins specifically for bariatric patients called Bariatric Advantage from my dr, and they come in lots of flavors, and was told that there is a lot of mal-nutrition associated with otc supplements from the drug store because they are not fda regulated. I would be afraid to take prenatals, but they are probably better than not taking vitamins at all. Best Wishes

    Yeah, ask your doctor or nutritionist. Being vitamin deficient can put you in the hospital!
