Can I take 1aday multivitamin and Rosuvastatin together?

Why this happens

Niacin and statins both have the potential to affect muscle tissue; when used together, this effect can be additive, leading to muscle pain or weakness. Furthermore, certain minerals can bind to rosuvastatin in the digestive tract, reducing its effectiveness.

It is generally fine to take these together, but you should be aware of the timing. If your multivitamin contains minerals (like magnesium), take it at least 2 hours apart from your rosuvastatin to ensure the medicine is absorbed properly. If you experience any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, contact your doctor.
