Take in day time

Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.

There is no significant interaction between Seroquel and Vitamin tablet you mentioned.

You should however avoid Citric acid.

I would however suggest you to take this Vitamin tablet in day time rather during night time along with Seroquel so as to minimize any possible interaction.

This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.

Thanks. I notice citric acid in many foods I consume. I also take my water with lemon and eat a lot of berries and oranges. My dr says ok as long as I dont consume grapefruit bc it has an enzyme in it that makes the metabolism
Of medication difficult. Does this mean citrus acid is ok bc doesnt contain the enzyme?

Hi, Actually it varies. It's not essential that everyone would have the effect, but yes a few people get effected by consuming citrus too along with this medicine.
So, if you try, and you get no issues, you may take it.
