My Multivitamin Tried to Kill Me


Well kill may be an over exaggeration but there were actually documented interactions with the prescription medications I’m on with one of them being fairly serious.

This all came to be because of an update to Samsung Health allowing for medication tracking. I put the 3 maintenance meds I’m on in and thought that would be enough but then (for giggles) decided to put in the supplements I take. One of them being Centrum Silver for males +50. It had some serious interactions with the statin I take and really didn’t agree with the others either. So I dropped the multivitamin and will see how that goes. At least everything else is compatible with one another.

Another gotcha about getting older no one bothered to tell me about.
