Wow, I only take one a day & never thought about needing to take any more.

Both my ADEK & ABDEK bottles say to take two a day. This is the general guideline I guess & I am sure according to your vitamin levels it would be adjusted according to your needs. I also found out that ADEK is suppose to be chewed to get the full benefit. Hell I wasnt doing that & never have so my doctor switched me to ABDEK which is a softgel. I can swallow it whole & its designed to work fine that way.

Just a note - ADEK and ABDEK are not for use during pregnancy.
Prenatal vitamins replace the need to take them. Vitamin A in the doses in ADEK could be harmful to the fetus.

Thanks for all the advice.<br>
haha of course i know to read a label on a bottle!<br>
However these ADEKS were given to me by the hosp and not through a
prescription so no label.  The doc told me how many i was
supposed to take but with so much going on i forgot. I do know my
vitamin levels are way way way down - but this doc doesn't know
that and 2 a day rings a bell.<br>
So yes, i do know to read labels :)<br>

Bumblebee,
My comment wasn't directed at you<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">, that's why I put what Melissa said in quotes, I was responding to her in an ornery way because if I had taken the time to read the label I would have seen that I wasn't taking the recommended amount.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif" border="0">
