can take with multivitamin ## Is pedivit forte safe to take for nursing mum? I am having back pain and doctor give me this vitamin ## Pedivit Forte is a multivitamin that is used to treat, or prevent a deficiency in the vital nutrients it contains. Thus, it should not be combined with another multivitamin, as some nutrients can be dangerous, if you take too much of them. Chrisand, yes, there should be no problem taking it, if your doctor has approved. The NIH does warn that it may cause nausea, and constipation in some people that take it. Is there anything else I can help with?

My 5 year old son takes 5mg singulair, 1t of zurtec and flonase spray every day. We live in michigan and he crues because he cannit breath through his nose. He has asthma as well. Anyone out there with children similar? Finding better success with different drugs in similar situation? ## Have you taken him to an allergist that treats children, or just a regular doctor? At his age, you do have to be very careful with the medications that are used and a specialist will probably be able to provide him with the most assistance in this matter. In spite of what my regular doctor tried, when I was younger, I really got no results, until I was an adult and went to an actual allergist, so I really think you should look into one for him.
