Is it Okay to take 2 doses of Multi vitamins with a 12-hour gap in between?

it would be nice if medical professionals can answer but all others are also welcome to answer!
Answers:
never overload on iron but all others will be ok,as an overload would be passed out thru the kidneys,the answer is yes fine
Yeah, no worries, extra vitamins just go through you anyway. just don't over do it though excessive multi vits can cause minor problems. But 12 hours is fine, just drink a little more water than you normally would (that should take care of any problems I can think of brought on by what's usually in multi vits).

Some vitamins are fat soluble. Those you can overdose on. The water soluble ones will wash on out of your body. The fat soluble are A%26lt;D%26lt;E%26lt; and K. The rest are water soluble. You can take extra B and C , do not take alot of A or D and E.
i do and take it only every 12 hours and i'm a RN
don't want to over do the iorn but you need more b12 and b6
thats what i take and i wouldn't tell you to do something if i wouldn't take it my self
yes, there should not be any adverse effects
If you take one dose of multi-vitamin capsule, only a portion is assimilated in the body. The rest will be excreted through urine.
I don't think it would do much damage. Our bodies are very resilliant and have the wonderful ablility to filter out toxins. Just don't do it too much. Come to think of it, if you did do it regularly, you'd probably put a larger hole in your wallet than you would in your stomach.
first, which multi-vitamin are you taking? check its label and see how much of the daily recomended dose it provides, if it's under 100% then go ahead and take two of them, but only for a while. vitamins like anything else can be harmful when over dosing. for exemple vitamin a though improves your eyes in an over those can actually hurt them. besides the liver damage. I wouldn't take more than 100-120% the USFDA recommended daily dose. if the multi-vitamin you're taking is low in any vitamin then take that one apart.
