Comment:
I still can't believe how ANNOYING this product is to take. My doctor prescribed it to me during my pregnancy and it has been nothing but an inconvenience. You aren't supposed to take it with food, so it made my stomach super upset. You can't take it with dairy, you have to take it around the same time every day, etc. I feel like my days revolve around my stupid prenatal vitamins.

Besides the bulky size of these pills, I have no problem with this drug.

Like others, I've taken this vitamin at night but experience different/unusual symptoms. For me, it causes what seems like restless leg symdrome in addition to mild indigestion. It drives me crazy when I try to go to sleep!! When I take a somewhat comparable OTC prenatal vitamin, I'm fine. Perhaps I'm having a mild allergic reaction to this brand?? PruEt has changed it's brand name

Like other reviewers have reported, this vitamin either makes me burp unnecessarily, or, twice now, has made me puke. The puking is 100% a result of the vitamin as it happens about 10 minutes after taking it. Other than when taking this vitamin, I have not puked at all during pregnancy. It makes no difference if you eat food with this -- same bad result.

This medication was awful!!! I took it everynight before bed because it was supposed to keep your stomach from getting upset. My stomach was upset and oh my the fishy taste you get when it starts to break down. I have almost thrown up because of it. I am requesting a new medication from my doctor ASAP.
