Mine are 142$ before insurance. My dr also prescribed mine. the reason he prescribed mine is because the nature one from cvs made me sick i couldn't keep them down. now i take natal one. they taste like chocolate lol! only ones i could keep down. he gave me a few samples of other brands too they all came up.

Before I got insure mine were 80 dollars bit now they are free. But I don't think the prescription is a stronger dose. I think some over the counter are better. Mine are nasty but only take them so I wont have to pay for them.

Your insurance doesn't cover your vitimins each month? I work but I still recieve pregnant Medicaid and I pay a 1$ for 30 pills!! But before I got insurance the Spring Valley worked just as great!

I use prescription which is $10.00 and then i take the DHA pills which are $10.  So total i pay about $20+ tax. There are only about 24 pills in each so i have to buy them once a month.
