What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking multivitamins with iron?


Some multivitamins with iron may affect other medical conditions or treatments. Do not start taking a vitamin or iron supplement without first talking to your doctor if you have any health problems or conditions, or if you take other medications.

Multivitamins with iron 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 iron supplement during pregnancy or breast-feeding.
