this is a common question that i get asked all the time and i really would advise the patient to not take maalox with it. maalox can actually bind to the vitamin and will not make it work as well. it will actually prevent it from being absorbed in the body. there are a few tricks though that i recommend to my patients to help avoid this nausea feeling and part of it is number one. taking it with some food around meal time maybe dinner is a good opportunity to take your vitamins and as long as there is something in your stomach it may actually counteract that nauseous feeling. also i found that a lot of women take it at bedtime. i recommend it pretty consistently and they say that it really works because you take it right before you go to bed. you are sleeping so the vitamins are dissolving and you are not awake to experience that nauseous feeling. but if you are having severe nausea talk to your pharmacist you may need to be switched to a different type of prenatal vitamin. i will be more than happy to call your physician or healthcare provider to talk to them about that for you.
my prenatal vitamin is making me nauseous. will taking it with maalox help?
