Help with Ketovite vitamins :)

[hayley1983]

Hey everyone.

Went to my doctor for multivitamin.

I have real trouble swallowing the "horse pills" like Sanatogen Gold so I've been prescribed Ketovite by my GP.

The only thing is - she said the tablets have to be taken along with a dose of the liquid.

I haven't paid for them yet, because I'm thinking that my prescription is going to cost me £14.40 a bleedin month?!?! Because it's 2 different things. I don't relly want to pay that for a vitamin

So my questions are - Does anyone here take Ketovite tablet AND liquid, and does anyone have an alternative for me that is tiny in size.

Ketovite is the same-ish size as my contraceptive pill which is very easy to swallow.

Thanks for the help everyone

I don't know what's in your tablets, but I just buy Bassett's chewable multivitamins. Just had blood test and all vitamins seem in order. x

Over the counters like bassetts are not suitable for post bypass, due to the malabsorptive nature of the surgery. Forceval and ketovite have a mammoth amount of vits and minerals in them, equivalent to taking 10 bassetts a day (plus all the others that aren't included in bassetts).

I've not heard of anyone taking liquid ketovite as well as the tablet though.

I am on Ketovite tablets, 3 a day but no liquid. They are a dream compared to the horse tablets!

Doesn't your dr mean to take with liquid, like a drink of water?? aren't you on any other medication, I've just had to get a prepayment certificate for my pescriptions(£10.40 a month for a year) or else i would be bankrupt!!! x

Sorry I have'nt heard of these but I'm a bander and I'm alright with the over the counter vits. Hope you get it sorted though and find something thats not going to cost you a fortunexx

I looked up Ketovite online & it mentions Ketovite liquid they are taken together for complete supplimentations.

Yeah,5ml a day like a liquid.

My friend takes ketovite but only the tablets

My doctor looked in a book to read about it because she had never heard of it eek and said "it looks like you have to take the liquid in conjunction with the liquid".

I'm not concerned about taking both, but I'm on a tight budget paying for 2 pecriptions a months, however I dont want my health to suffer

Buy a presciption exemption certificate, if you think you are likely to have more than 13 scripts in a year, you'll be squid in. Ask for the calcium and iron too, and you def will be! Mine paid for itself within a month lol
