A member asked:
Is there a drug interaction between etoposide and multivitamins?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Etoposide & vit E: Altho there are potential benefits of using vit e with cancer agents, there are also potential interactions with those that work by generating oxygen species to damage cancer dna & proteins. It is therefore advised not to use vitamin E during chemotherapy until it is researched further. Ask oncologist about other vitamins.
