Tablets - When can I take them again?

[Andrea73]

I had my bypass on 17th October and currently take a bassetts chewy vitamin but was wondering when can I transfer onto a normal multi vitamin tablet? Was also wondering if it is ok to take paracetomol or ibrufen in tablet form or does it have to be soluable still?

Many thanks

I was 3/4 weeks after my op and I take: Omerprazole, Forceval (Which has almost everything you need in 1) solphazinc, seleum, B12, Iron tablet, perfectil (nails & hair) calcichew, s/f folic acid. I think thats it LOL Hope this helps Gail.x

Forgot to say the perfectil for hair, skin and nails is excellent. My hair is so shiny and my complection is in beautiful condition along with my nails. well worth the £7.00 per month. Gail

Thanks for that Gail. I can tell the tablets work just by looking at your photo. Fab!

I'm 4 weeks post op and have been taking tablets for about a week. I started with capsules to see how they went down then, when I found they were easy, I went onto my other tablets. I had previously phoned Sainsbury's pharmacy to see if they were crushable and was told that they were. When I got my recent batch I read the slip of paper and it said they weren't!!!!!! That's why I started swallowing them whole. No probs. Mxx

Hi Andrea check with the docs about the ibuprofen as I think it is a non steroidal anti inflamatory (nsaid) (so is aspirin). Were supposed to avoid them.
