There’s many different brands of Rx prenatal vitamins, both name brand and generic. How does the pharmacist know which one to fill based on such a vague Rx? Eeny, meeny, miny, moe?
This is what happened several years ago and I mailed the Rx to my mail order pharmacy and was mailed generic prenatal vitamins. No questions asked of me. I’m curious how they were chosen. I wasn’t informed enough at the time to compare ingredients or even know that there were several options. If there’s a better sub to ask this question please let me know. Thanks!

In the US it is often up to the insurance company. Some insurance companies will only cover generic, some will only cover name brand.
If they don’t have a requirement one way or the other I think the default is generally whatever is going to be most cost effective to the patient.
