      Hi Guys,

      To all taking vitamins, I would like to know what vitamins you guys take and did you have to get the thumps up by your consultant before taking them. I never get a yes and no if ok and at moment on keydruda.

      i am going through meanupause, thyroid issues and on keydruda.

      vitamins I take are zinc, magnesium, garlic, b2, vitD,cod liver oil, Cq10, plus a gut bacteria tablet.

      After taking zinc, magnesium, B2 my wee was bright yellow anyone on these have had same issue. If so is it normal,

      Thanks guys

            I take a Centrum Silver multi-vit for women. Also B12 and D3. I was taking the multi-vit, the B12, and a probiotic when on Keytruda. The B12 helped with a non-iron deficient anemia issue. I only added the D3 after a recent blood lab showed I was low…… and I've been off Keytruda since July 2016. My docs were all aware and all ok with the vitamins. I too have a thyroid issue (thanks Yervoy and Keytruda for that) and am on 150 mcg of Levothyroxine….. along with 500 mg of Keppra x2 daily. 

            Any B complex vitamin will make your wee shine a lovely shade of "Gatorade". LOL! I'm not sure why it does this, but even perfectly healthy people have the same issue. It's totally normal. 🙂

                My husband (the patient) is taking probiotics on the advice of his oncologist, and is drinking kefir. He's taking a multivitamin, turmeric and like many others D3. (My doctor and previously dietician wanted me on 3000 if of D3 too due to lack of sun). He's considering a couple others and before taking will let the doctor or research coordinator know, as they've requested. 

                He's either getting 480 nivo monthly or 280 nivo and 1/3 dose of ipi every other week.

                    Scooby,

                    When I srarted Keytruda, I asked if I could continue to take my vitamins and supplaments. He was fine with it…never even asked what I was taking.
