Meta B-Fort Tablets

Who is this for?

Vitamins are essential nutrients your body needs in small amounts to function properly — they support your immune system, energy levels, growth, and overall health, and multivitamin supplements combine several of these nutrients in one product to fill gaps in your diet.

Is Vitamins safe to take with another drug?

For most multivitamin tablets like Albevite, take 1 tablet once daily, preferably with food so your body absorbs it better. Syrups like Archivite or De-Shalom are usually taken 1-2 teaspoonfuls (5-10ml) once or twice daily. Always follow the instructions on the pack or what your pharmacist tells you.

If you miss a dose, just take it when you remember. If it's almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and continue as normal. No need to double up — vitamins are not like antibiotics where missing a dose is critical.

• Mild stomach upset or nausea (especially when taken on an empty stomach)
• change in urine colour to bright yellow (this is normal and harmless — it's from Vitamin B2)
• mild constipation or loose stool
• slight metallic taste in the mouth

If you are taking antibiotics like tetracycline or ciprofloxacin, take your vitamins at least 2 hours apart because minerals in multivitamins can reduce how well the antibiotics work. Vitamins containing iron can reduce the effectiveness of some thyroid medications. If you are on blood thinners like warfarin, Vitamin K in some multivitamins can interfere with the drug.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat — Nigerian weather can be very hot, so avoid leaving vitamins on windowsills, in cars, or near stoves. Keep syrups and drops tightly closed after use. Always keep out of reach of children, as children may mistake them for sweets.
