Multivitamins - PreOp

Hello, my surgeon recommended that I start taking the Prenatal vitamin from Costco before surgery (Once a day) and I noticed that almost immediately after taking it I get very nauseous and get sick (even though I eat right before like suggested). I was wondering if anyone else has similar symptoms and does it go away.

Thanks for your input.

That's not uncommon. Try taking it in the evening, before you go to bed (you'll be asleep before it can make you nauseous) or try a different multi. It often goes away after a while of taking it.

Hi Amanda,

I have a similar problem, but with One A Day type vitamins.   I can't take them at all.  I'm fine with Pre-natal ones.

You can try a different brand, but it may not help.  You could try the One A Day Women's 50+ (has the recommended iron content) and see if you react the same.
