Yes: Multivitamin supplements contain vitamins and minerals. There is no adverse side effects to taking them together. Since you are on blood thinners, avoid supplements that contain vitamin E, fish oils, Turmeric and gingko biloba as these also thin the blood. Talk to your dr about why you are using 3 blood thinning meds. Plavix and Elaquis taken together can dramatically increase your bleeding risk.

Mutliple Vitamin: I agree with Dr. Kratzberg . Adding a standard once a day multiple vitamin should not be problematic. But do remember that many supplements have potential to interact with drugs and for side effects.
