For many antibiotics, you're not supposed to take vitamins when or close to when you take the antibiotics.
Although they aren't medications, vitamins may cause an unwanted interaction if you are also taking antibiotics. In some cases, taking supplements with antibiotics may have a beneficial effect. While discussing how to use an antibiotic with your physician, let her know what supplements and medications you are currently taking to decrease the potential for an unwanted interaction or build up of toxins.
