Vitamins safe with prescriptions?

Question

I have been prescribed tetracycline for the long term treatment of acne and then prednisone to take for a week before a special event because it is supposed to make the progress go faster. I am wondering if it is safe to take selenium, chromium, vitamin A, vitamin E, and zinc vitamins with these medications and if they will affect the affects of the medicine. I am taking these vitamins for acne and overall health as well.

Answer 1

safe, go on but with caution.

Answer 2

None of these vitamins taken in a dosage that does not exceed 100% of your body requirement should cause you any problem. Vitamin A is a retinoid will actually help treat your acne. All of these should just be used in their recommended amounts. Tetracycline has been around for years and is one of those antibiotics that is so thoroughly tried and tested that you can feel very safe about using and not worry about it being contraindicated for you.
