Tiffbrev 1 Posted June 20, 2020 I had a lot of people recommend the Patch MD multi plus vitamin patches. Said their blood work is always good. Has anyone else used these? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Puffy-no-more 141 Posted June 21, 2020 I have and am using them. I just had some blood work done last month (my 3 month labs). Everything was good except for my Iron so now I have to take an extra iron pill. But.....I’ve always struggled with iron so I’m thinking it’s not related to the patch. Like I said, everything else was good. I could probably take regular pills now but I remember a couple of days after surgery, I tried to take some Tylenol. I cut it in half and omg was the worst feeling ever. It felt like it was just sitting there! So I would definitely recommend the Patches especially in the beginning!

catwoman7 11,220 Posted June 21, 2020 I've never used the Patches, but I know a lot of people who have (not sure of which brand they use, though). They work very well for some and not so well for others. But you can always try them and see. As long as you're early out and therefore getting labs done fairly frequently, you should be able to tell fairly quickly if they're working for you or not, I would think....

Maryeuh 55 Posted June 21, 2020 I am now using the Patches and will use them after my surgery as well. As I progress I will most like start taking Vitamins by mouth if I can tolerate them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bari_KS 499 Posted June 21, 2020 I used Multivitamins Patches for 3 weeks after surgery because i was afraid to swallow large pills. After 3wks i started taking regular pills. My labs were OK. My surgeon said it's ok to use patches short time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
