A member asked:
Should someone with aplastic anemia take multivitamins?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multivitamins: My answer is 'yes, ' but i also believe that every adult should take a multivitamin a day, and older adults should add calcium (1000 mg/d) and vitamin d (at least 800 iu/d). For aplastic anemia, make sure you get enough folate (ie. A prenatal vitamin or a separate supplement) and vitamin b12. Some of the drugs used to treat aplastic anemia may interfere with some vitamins, so you may need more.
