What is multivitamin? Multivitamins are a combination of many
different vitamins that are normally found in foods and other
natural sources. Multivitamins are used to provide vitamins that
are not taken in through the diet. Multivitamins are also used
to treat vitamin deficiencies (lack of vitamins) caused by
illness, pregnancy, poor nutrition, digestive disorders, and
many other conditions. Multivitamins may also be used for other
purposes not listed in this medication guide. Many vitamins can
cause serious or life-threatening side effects if taken in large
doses. Do not take more of this medication than directed on the
label or prescribed by your doctor. If you have any medical
conditions, ask your doctor before taking a multivitamin. If you
have certain conditions, you may need a certain vitamin
formulation or special tests while taking a multivitamin. Do not
take multivitamins without telling your doctor if you are
pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Some vitamins and minerals
can harm an unborn baby if
