WARNINGS:
This product contains selenium which is toxic in high doses. A daily dose of 150 micrograms for adults of selenium from dietary supplements should not be exceeded. Vitamin and mineral supplements should not replace a balanced diet.
DRUG INTERACTIONS:
Separate dose from medication by 2 hours to minimise any interactions.
Caution with phenobarbital and phenytoin (anticonvulsants) - high doses of vitamin B6 or folate can decrease their efficacy. Use only under the supervision of a health professional.
Caution with L-Dopa - vitamin B6 increases the peripheral metabolism of levodopa and may lower levodopa levels for CNS penetration, resulting in reduced levodopa effects. The effect of pyridoxine is prevented by administration of a dopa-decarboxylase inhibitor (e.g. benserazide, carbidopa) with levodopa, as is common clinical practice.
Caution with methotrexate (folic acid antagonist) - co-administration with folate may reduce the effects. Patients should take folate only under the supervision of a health professional.
Caution with aluminium-containing phosphate binders - vitamins C and D can increase aluminium absorption. Separate dose.
Caution with thiazide diuretics - thiazides may reduce urinary calcium excretion and increase serum calcium levels when administered with high doses of vitamin D. Monitor serum calcium levels.
Caution with cardiac glycosides (e.g. digoxin) - vitamin D can elevate serum calcium levels, which may lead to increased inflow of calcium into myocardial cells, increasing toxicity of cardiac glycosides. Monitor calcium levels regularly.
Caution with orlistat - may impair the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Take Men's Multi + at least 2 hours after orlistat.
Caution with phosphate and drugs containing phosphate - vitamin D increases the absorption of phosphates which may lead to hyperphosphataemia. Monitor.
Caution with lipid-lowering drugs (eg. colestyramine and colestipol) - may reduce absorption of fat soluble vitamins, vitamin B3 and folate. Space administration as far apart as possible.
Caution with calcium channel blockers - vitamin D may reduce the effectiveness of these drugs. Use under medical supervision.
Caution with blood thinning medications, including warfarin - vitamins E and C and selenium may interfere with the activity of vitamin K in producing blood clotting factors and lead to increased clinical effects of oral anticoagulants. Monitor.
Caution with NSAIDs, cefalexin, penicillamine and quinolone and tetracycline antibiotics - form insoluble complexes with magnesium and zinc, decreasing drug absorption. Seperate dose by 3 hours.
CAUTIONS:
Caution in iron overload conditions such as haemochromatosis - contains iron and vitamin C, which increases iron absorption.
Caution in cholestasis and coeliac disease - Tribulus is high in saponins and possibly inappropriate.
SIDE EFFECTS:
Nutrients are generally very well tolerated in this dose. Mild gastrointestinal symptoms may occur in sensitive individuals. Take with food to reduce incidence.
Siberian ginseng is generally well tolerated, however a few case reports of sleep difficulties, palpitations, headaches, tachycardia and hypertension exist.
Tribulus is rich in saponins which may cause irritation or gastric mucous membrane irritation and reflux in sensitive individuals.
