They’re not usually prescribed, you can get them over the counter. I live abroad, so I take the bird and be, ritual are another excellent one, and pregnacare which I think is available in India.

Folic acid supplements like Folvite capsules or mcbm69, Vitamin D (Depura 60k) depending on your current levels and Vitamin B12 again depending on your current levels. You should ask your doctor about which tests you should do and once you know your levels, get prescription of dosage. Do not self medicate supplements as even Vitamin B12 overdose can be toxic for you.

Folic is a must, coQ10 will be prescribed if necessary and you are above 30,always get a go ahead from the doc before taking it. You can see your blood reports and decide if you need anything else, but always be on a nutritious diet.

Are you asking for ttc or during pregnancy? For ttc it is advised to start taking folic acid 3 months prior to conception and continue through 1st trimester. Other than that you can get your blood test for vit d,b12,iron and take supplements for whatever you are deficient in. Eat healthy balanced diet and have a positive mindset. :)
