Can I take 60 and Vitamin d3 together?

Why this happens

Orlistat attaches to the enzymes in your gut that break down fat. Since Vitamin D needs to be dissolved in fat to be absorbed into your bloodstream, blocking fat absorption also blocks the uptake of the vitamin.

To ensure you get enough Vitamin D, you should take your Vitamin D supplement at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking Orlistat (for example, at bedtime). It is also best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking any medication to ensure your body processes the treatment effectively.
