Interaction between minocycline and vitamins?

Question

I have a question about a medication (Minocycline 100mg). It is mentioned not to take calcium, magnesium supplements at the same time or to take it 2 hours apart. Can I take prenatal vitamins at the same time as the minocycline (planned pregnancy after the end of this medication)?

Hello, thank you for your question! In fact, it is recommended that minocycline and multivitamins be taken at least 2 hours apart. Some components of the multivitamin may prevent the body from absorbing the minocycline properly when taken at the same time. Hopefully I have been helpful, I remain available if you have any further questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
