Done Chemotherapy For Breast Cancer. Taking Tamoxifen And Dilatin. Can Nutrilite Multivitamins Be Taken?
Hello, I have a friend who just finished with her chemotherapy for breast cancer. She is currently on two medications which are tamoxifen and dilatin. Can she take Nutrilite multivitamins? Its from the Perfect pack which includes the DoubleX vitamins, fruits and vegetables, and omega-3 and also taking vitamin D3. The vitamin D3 was recommended by her Dr. Please advise, she just wants to make sure that there will be no reaction with the vitamins and medication. Thank you

Dear Ma'am,
Sorry to hear about your friend's condition. Multivitamins have no interaction with the medicines she is on and she can continue them for as long as she wants. In addition she should take a balanced diet with a lot of fruits and milk (which will provide extra calcium, which she requires).
Hoping for the best.
