Burning Sensation During Urination After Taken Vitamin Pills, No Issues When Pill Is Nit Taken. Suggest Other Pills?

Hi, I know this might seem like a weird question, but I've noticed a strange corelation between me taking vitamin pills and having a burning sensation when urinating. I started taking these vitamin pills after I was sick for a few days (A-Z multivitamin & minerals from a supermarket brand) and ever since I've had this burning sensation. The weird thing is, that on days I forgot to take the pill in the morning, or took one in the evening instead, I didn't have the burnning sensation and as soon as I took another pill, it started again. Is there any reason why this keeps happening? And if so are there specific pills better suited for me to take?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
I have gone through your history and there is urinary burning after taking particular vitamin pill.
There is possibility of contents causing acidic ph of urine( Like Vitamin C) and which causes burning and if you do not take PH changes to alkaline and there is no burning. If that is the reason then adding urine alkalizer will help.
Other possibility is allergic reaction to any contents of the multivitamin.
Please stop the multivitamin and get your urine analysis to see if there is infection by presence of pus cells.
Usually multivitamin do not cause such problem, please try to get all your vitamins and minerals from natural source and if required please get prescription from Physician.
He/She can give only required vitamins and minerals and antioxidant.
Hope this is useful to you.
Take care.
Good Luck.
