Vitamin A
my daughter was prescibed these for prenatal vitamins, but they don't look or taste like vitamins. On the pill itself it says ethex on one side and on the other it says 317. ## I would like the names of all the prescribed prenatal vitamins. ## Well, you aren't supposed to taste them. LOL Personally, I'd not want to, since most vitamins won't taste very good. . The tablet with the ETHEX 317 marking is, indeed, a prenatal vitamin called Natalcare RX, it is prescribed to pregnant women to help ensure they have the proper amount of nutrients for both them, and the baby. They are very potent, so according to FDA reports, they sometimes cause nausea, and constipation, as side effects. Ref: Prenantal Vitamins Is there anything else I can help with?
