Can Multivitamins, B12 B-complex, Fish Oil And Laxative Be Taken Together ?

Hi. I have cramps in my feet, especially when they are cold. My doctor told me to take magnesium. I have less cramps now. I am also taking multivitamins, b12 b-complex, fish oil and 17g of laxative all at once in my coffee with my bagel in the morning. Is it a smart way to take vitamins?

Hi, thanks for your query at Healthcare Magic,

You can take multivitamin, vitamin B12, B-complex and fish oil in the same time, but do not take it all with a coffee. Do not also take all of the supplements and laxative together. In general, you need to take supplements or medications two hours before or two hour after your laxative.

For laxative, I think that you have to avoid regular use of it. If you need to use laxatives to be regular, I'll recommend you to use fiber first. Also drink fluid and stay well hydrated when using laxative.

If you have a chronic constipation problem, see your doctor.

Take care.
