Side Effects: Generally well-tolerated. However, a few side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach upset may occur. Side effects have been reported with specific vitamins but generally at levels substantially higher than recommended doses.  

Precautions:  Contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients of this product. In acute renal failure, zinc accumulation may occur, so dosage adjustment may be needed. Concomitant intake of tetracyclines or fluoroquinolones and zinc may decrease the absorption of both drugs; allow at least 3 hours between doses. Co-administration of Niacin and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (e.g., lovastatin) may result in myopathy and rhabdomyolysis. Pyridoxine may reduce levodopa's effectiveness by increasing its peripheral metabolism and may decrease serum levels of phenytoin.

Storage: Store in a cool and dry place, protected from light. Keep out of reach of children.
