What heck is going on with these vitamins!!!

Edit to ask: are these prescription or OTC??? Or both??

I believe they are all prescription meds.

I take NatalCare Plus and they are prescribed by my midwife. Crap! What does this all mean?

Yeah I'm on the other list also with stuff my m/w prescribed. There is a number to call---call it and see WHAT the reason is they are recalling them. It may be something as stupid as the box the drugs came in are missing some info and so it gets recalled, it could be there is some contamination in the pills from an employee who had something and didn't prep properly. Who knows! The fact that they say "don't stop taking it" makes me think its more of a packaging issue then a drug issue---I can't imagine if it was unsafe they would tell us to keep taking it! Call the number and see what they say.
