I take prenatals plus iron supplements and a few other vitamins in which I'm low. I spent a lot of money and I really don't want to buy more.

AYLOR. Vitamins are generally considered food, not medicine, and require a hechsher, but if they're taken because you have a genuine deficiency the rules may be different.

For a week I'd ask if I need them as a medicine and if not I'd skip

I heard the same, Meds are easier, but for vitamins if they are really needed ask a Sheilah
