Vitamins and other medications



Recommended Posts

My physician told me to get a chewable multivitamin' date=' Vitamin D with Calcium, and a Vitamin B-12. Do the other Vitamins ( D, Calcium, and B-12) need to be chewable. Also what about the other medications I take, do the need to be crushed? Or can I just swallow them, they aren't that big.[/quote']

Flintstone complete. Calcium must be citrate. B12 can be subligual. You can get it at GNC. I couldn't take liquid multi vit. The taste made me want to vomit. gummies work well to, just they are not covered in sugar.

My surgeon requests that we take Vitamins made by Celebrate or Bariatric Advantage. Specially designed for bariatric patients, I take a Multivitamin 2x/day, calcium 3x/day, B12, Iron. All chewables.< /p>
