Tetracycline And Vitamins Posted: 09-07-04 21:02pm
I used to take a hair, skin, and nails
vitamin pill every day until I stated
tetracycline because I heard you shouldn't
take vitamins while on it. My doctor
wasn't the one that said it. Does anyone
know if this is true?

I jsut started that myself but alls I was
warned about was that it may effect the
affect of medication so you shouldnt' take
it three hours prior or or after taking
yoru pill just like food, vitamins
shouldnt' be different then any other
medication I woudl think but dont quote me
on it ...

Vitamins are just like food from my
research. You get vitamins from your
food. So taking your viatmins when you
eat your food (3 hours before or after
your tetracycline dose) should not affect
your tetracycline. Thats my logic. I've
never tried it and I don't take
tetracycline anymore so I can't try it. I
do take vitamins now that I didn't take
when I was on tetracycline.
