I have started taking Vitamins: B12, D3 and L-carnitine on top of my Mandafen and Paracetamol prescription.
Does anyone know if this can cause any problems.

Thanks John

    Hello I would check with your doctor or pharmacist John. I can't imagine they would interact badly though.I have takren vitamin b/ d3 before on what you are taking and was fine.
    How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

    KitKatt is right. It's always best to check as some things can interact. Pharmacists are good at giving that sort of advice.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Sorry John I have only just seen this..welcome to the forum..
    Vitamins have become a minefield...so please check with your GP or like I do your chemist..I have a friend that has been told by his GP not to take large does of Vit C..i..
    Love

    Hi John, Funnily enough I've been thinking about taking vitamins for a while to see if it will help give me a boost instead of feeling like my batteries are close to going flat! I'm seeing me Dr on Friday and it's on the top of my list to ask her! It's always best to check with your G.P about things like that!!
