Is it dangerous to have taken dilectin and my vitamin at the same time? Can heartburn be the cause or not?

Question

I am 9 weeks pregnant. I take dilectin before bed to control my nausea. I have not been able to take my prenatal vitamins for a while. Tonight with dilectin I took my prenatal vitamin. I am having heartburn now. I just looked up the dosage on my vitamins and it says to take them an hour apart with other medications.

Good evening, It is recommended that vitamins be taken at different times from other medications because they can diminish the effect of some medications, but this is not the case with Diclectin. However, prenatal vitamins contain several minerals that are difficult to digest on an empty stomach, which is why they are often recommended with a meal. If you took it in the evening without eating, this may explain your symptoms. Fortunately, they should disappear quickly. By taking your next vitamins with food, you may be able to avoid that heartburn.
