multi vitamin strength

[lyzzyanne]

for some reason the multi vit tablets make me feel sick, tried several brands but always the same, so I have found some nas fruit chewy ones by barrets, intended for young adults, but I don't know what strength or dosage i should be getting, can anyone help please??

I Think its thiamine 14mg, n folic acid 200. I just buy asda,s own now multivitamins with iron 60 tablets just under 3 quid n its 1 a day.Hope thats of some help to ya xx

 

[lyzzyanne]

Thank you, now I have looked on the side it tells you how much of your daily reccomended allowance is in each one, the thiamin and folic acid are as you have said, so |I may have cracked it!! Raspberry flavored and palatable at last!!!

I have had trouble with medication allergies & found several multi vits & minerals make me feel very sick or just get stuck & can't digest. I have discussed with my hospital team & they recommended centrum chewables multi vits & minerals 2 per day. Finding these great.
Cheapest is Amazon with free delivery but sold in most major chemists etc.

Yes think i had Centrum advance when I first came out of hospital, my daughter took my list to Boots and asked for advice n they had the required dosage of what we needed but they were bout £15 a pot which was 3 months supply so she got 3 for 2 offer but obviously lasted me a while. ThankfullY I have been ok with them all, I have felt very sickly alot but never actually sick always just blamed mine on tha food but could well have been tha vitamins never even thought bout them xx

Do you guys not get forcival from your doctor?

 

[lyzzyanne]

No got vitamins from the doc as yet, are they any different to what you can buy over the counter because its the make up of the pills that make me feel sick. I was trying to find a chewable one which wouldn't have the same effect. Sounds like there may be a few choices now!
Thanks

U need forceval guys if doc won't give them u, u can get them over the counter just under £8 I think but they r the best for us

 

[mrscinders]

i take A-Z multi vitamins and minerals doc told me has to say minerals x

Lyzzyanne, advice from l and d is a-z complete. The barratts don't measure up to those. I have checked - asda a-z complete does.

 

[chrisa]

i only buy the asda ones now xx My bloods are fine not altered at all. xx

 

[Yvessa]

I guess, but lyzzyanne and I are under the same team - and we should follow their recommendations. If you're still struggling ring them up and see what they suggest.

 

[lyzzyanne]

Thanks everyone, will give them a ring, its odd I can take all the rest and I am fine but as soon as I take the vitamin one puke city. I have swapped the time of taking, taken with food without food with and without other tablets. So I know its them doing it!!

 

[Yvessa]

Yeah, definitely give them a ring and ask for their advice

My dietitian said the ONLY ones suitable are Forceval and Sanatogen A-Z.
I was taking Sainsbury's own and Asda's own, she checked and said neither were good enough and wrote to my Dr telling her to prescribe Forceval.
