Can I take 1.5mg and Vitamin b12 together?

Why this happens

Vitamin B12 is absorbed in the small intestine and does not typically interfere with the chemical pathways, liver enzymes, or kidney excretion processes used by most other drugs. It does not have any known additive or opposing effects when taken with common medications.

You can safely take vitamin B12. If you are taking 1.5mg (1500 micrograms) as a supplement, this is a high dose compared to the daily requirement, so ensure this has been recommended by a healthcare professional to treat a specific deficiency. Always inform your doctor or pharmacist of all supplements you are taking.
