Definitely, specifically if known with a deficiency. Otherwise role of vitamin supplementation remains debatable in patients eating a normal diet. There might be also formal contraindications such as, for example, taking vit K by patients on Coumadin. Make sure you discuss with pharmacist also specifically if taking many meds.
