Hi
Multivitamins are minerals are only really needed if you have a deficiency or if you don;t have a balanced and nutritious diet.
So long as you use recommend dose they will not do any harm.
The only ARVs that interact with multivitamins are integrate inhibitors. It this case you just need to separate dosing of the multivitamins and ARVs by at least four hours
Hi Dineo, I am sorry but any changes in your skin colour sound very strange and your doctor needs to manage this. Any blisters that break the skin might be an allergic reaction to the antibiotics (Purbac). In this case the doctor should normally stop this and use alternative meds.
I’m on months taking ARC (acretega) (night) , and Prubac and DS24 (morning). My face is pitch black especially when exposed to the sun. Dr gave “mixed ointment” not assisting. Face blisters. I’m using Dove (white one) soap.
