Who should not take multivitamins?
Some multivitamins may affect other medical conditions or treatments. Do not start taking a multivitamin without first talking to your doctor if you have any health problems or conditions, or if you take other prescription or over-the-counter medications.
Multivitamins are generally considered to be safe for use during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Special prenatal vitamins are available and are important for the healthy development of a baby. However, large doses of some vitamins can be harmful. Talk to your doctor about taking a vitamin and mineral supplement during pregnancy or breast-feeding.
