Interaction with Other Medicines
Avoid taking Multivitamin with the following medicines, as it may increase or decrease the desired effect, or in worse cases, it could be fatal:
Interaction with Food Product
This supplement may absorb less effectively if taken with high-calcium foods like milk or cheese, so it’s better to take them at different times. Very fatty meals can slow down the absorption of vitamins A and E and drinking too much alcohol can reduce the levels of vitamin B in your body, making the supplement less effective.
