These prenatal vitamins have been recalled since February and as of March 12th, I was still taking the vitamins because I was not aware of the recall. I find out the Rx is not available when I go to get a refill and the pharmacist states the manufacture recalled the product. I want to know why the product has been recalled and why the FDA, the manufacturer, the doctor or the pharmacy did not make it known to an individual taking this product. We are talking about exposing a tiny fetus to a potentially harmful product! Ther-Rx Corp has some explaining to do and I want answers.

I have been taking Encora vitamins for about 3 years and when I went to get my refill, my pharmacy would not refill due to a recall. I would like more information. Are these vitamins that I have left contaminated? Will I become ill or have other problems because of this recall? Someone must have answers!

I have been taking PrimaCare One since September 2008 and just found out that it was discontinued today, now I am really nervous. I research infant mortality and the trends related to negative prenancy outcomes, so I know how important preconception and interconception healthcare are for women of childbirthing age. I have been preparing my body for pregnancy, and the thought that the drugs contained in this vitamin could be harmful really concerns me.
