A member asked:

Can you cough up phlegm with black bits in whilst taking certain vitamin tablets?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Phlegm: Yes, you can cough up phlegm with black bits while taking vitamin tablets. Your specks you see in it are not parts of those tablets, as they are dissolved in your stomach. See a physician to see what is causing your cough. Good luck.
