What are multivitamins?
Vitamins are naturally occurring substances necessary for many processes in the body. Vitamins are found in the foods we eat.
Multivitamins are combinations of vitamins in tablets, capsules, liquids, and injections. Multivitamins are used to treat vitamin shortages in the body that may occur because of illness, pregnancy, poor nutrition, decreased absorption of foods through the stomach, and many other circumstances.
Multivitamins may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
