I usually get very nauseous after I take prenatal vitamins, but these don't do that. Also, they are huge and look like they would be very hard to swallow. It's not that bad though, since they have that coating, they swallow really easy.

This medication is very expensive! It was easty to take and did not make me sick. I decided to quit taking the pill because it has unnecessary ingredients, one of which is propylene glycol. My registered dietitian told me to avoid PG especially when pregnant. It also contains titanium dioxide. I know, that with small quantities of these ingredients, the pills are likely harmless but I decided not ...

This is my first pregnancy and my doctor put me on these pills before I conceived. They are easy to take, and do smell like candy. The only side effect I have is occassional heartburn. the pills are very expensive- $50

After taking this three days I experienced a terrible rash on my face. I started with a few bumps on the morning of the third day then by that evening my whole face was broken out with HUGE bumps, Even down my neck. I took two benadryl and called the pharmacist and he confirmed that I was having a allergic reaction to this drug.

Found another brand with no unnecessary fillers and am eating flax seed to get my omega 3s.Read More Read Less

Unfortunately, I had a terrible side effect a couple of days after I started taking this. My lip and part of my face became hugely swollen. I immediately called my doctor and stopped taking it and the swelling went down after 12 hours or so. My doctor said it could be due to the fillers in the drug.

I absolutely satisfied with Prenexa, I love it! My new doc gave me samples. It actually makes me sleep well and my use restroom regularly. I paid $40 with my insurance. Prenate DHA made my stomach upset and had difficult time to go to restroom. I just love it

Unfortunately I do not experience the stool softening benefit that it promotes. In fact, it is the opposite.

Not covered by my pharmacy plan and costs $60 a month. Yikes. Will switch to a generic.

My doctor gave me a few samples of different prenatal vitamins and let me pick which I liked best. This was the only pill that I haven't felt ANY side effects from! No nausea - even if I take it on an empty stomach. No fishy after taste at all. And the pills actually smell like tootsie rolls! I'm very happy with Prenexa and would highly recommend it to anyone whose had issues with other vitamins.

With my first pregnancy I took a vitamin with omega III's and had horrible fish aftertaste. My doctor advised that I take Prenexa bc it has plant based dha. Ive been very satisfied.

The vitamin B6 has been very helpful with the morning sickness adn teh stool softener is great when you suffer from frequent constipation. I would suggest this PreNatal vitamin more then the ones I took with my first child 7 yrs ago.

I had been taken an OTC that was giving me constipation. Prenexa has a stool softner that makes it easier have a BM. It is super easy to take and they smell like tootsie-rolls..no joke
