How should I take multivitamin?
Take multivitamins exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.
 |
Take each dose with a full glass of water. |
 |
Take multivitamins with food to lessen stomach upset. |
Some multivitamins are available in a chewable tablet formulation. Chew these tablets thoroughly before swallowing.
 |
Some multivitamins are also available in liquid form. To ensure that you get the correct dosage, measure liquid multivitamins with a dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist where you can get one. |
 |
Do not take more of a multivitamin than is prescribed for you or is directed on the package. Large doses of multivitamins can be dangerous. |
 |
Store multivitamins at room temperature away from moisture and heat. |
