Are you taking vitamins or any other medicines daily - because the doctor prescribed or on your own?
I do take multi-vitamins or B complex on my own - no Doctor has prescribed but I am taking these daily as a precaution for tomorrow and I have not been to a doctor for years now - touch-wood!!! Those are the only medications I take daily.

I take shelcal 250gms for calcium for a period of 15 days after which i stop it for a fortnight then again start taking it. I also take a caps of seven Seas 3 times a day and i tab of Ecosprin and 3 caps each of DXN brand RG and GL once a day.Taking these has prevented me from any major illness and like you don`t have to go to any doctor.If i catch a cold i let it fizzle out and if i have a slight fever then Crocin does the trick.

hi udayrao2 I am a diabetic and have high blood pressure and arthritiis so yes I do take medications daily as prescribed by my doctor so I will be able to live a few more years after all. I trust my doctor as he has been my doctor for years now. I am 83 so I must be doing something right after all. you must be very healthy and I am really happy for you.

Hi Hatley
More than medications I think it is the will power or +ve thinking which keeps a person fit!! In my case the vitamins are more because my family wants me to take them as I am almost 64 but quite fit enough ( except a bit of a leg problem due to an accident) but they get a bit worried that I should not become weak!!
All the Best

Hi uday,
I don’t take any medicine on regular basis now. I will take medicine as and when required, means if I am sick then I may consult a doctor then only I take medicine. I don’t have the habit of taking vitamins without prescribing by a doctor. I am happy to know that by taking vitamins on regular basis you are staying healthy. Stay healthy always.

I take medicines against acne called Roaccutane. I have to take it three times a day after the meal. I used to take vitamins when I was a kid, but now I don't have a need for them, I eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Hi! Because the doctor found out (through blood tests) that I'm severely anaemic he prescribed very strong iron tablets that each have 210mg in them! I take 3 a day! In a month's time I will have another blood test to see how my thyroid gland is getting on..but at least the iron is giving me more energy.
Bravo the Doc lol.

hello! No, I don't take any vitamins daily at least not as a pills, because i don't like any medicines, even when we talk about vitamins, because even they are not that healthy, I prefer to take my daily dose of vitamins with the fruits and vegetables I eat and it is much more delicious and much more healthy, because these are real , natural vitamins
