I was recently taking two penecillin pills every morning for a sinus infection. I finished it yesterday. This morning, half asleep and out of habit, I accidently took two [regular strength] Centrum Multi-vitamins. Can there be any side effects to this?

Don't worry about it. You have to take far more then 2 of them to feel the effects of vitamin toxicity. It would probably take a bottle of them and for you to be dehydrated.

I would be concerned if the multivitamins have Vitamin A instead of Beta Carotene. Vitamin A could be toxic to the body if too much is taken, that is why Beta Carotene is the preferred way of getting your Vitamin A. Beta Carotene is converted to A as your body needs it. Too much Vitamin C could cause diarrhea or loose stools. If the child took adult multivitamin, there could be some side effects and I would watch him or her closely, but if the multivitamins where children's' he or she will probably be ok, when in doubt call your doctor or a pharmacist

Hey
Not a problem.. your pee will be a bit darker as you "dump" the extra vitamins and minerals, but only if you did this a bunch of times would you have to worry about an Overdose of a vitamin or mineral.. one time, no prob.
Drink extra Water!

Centrum vitamins are worthless. So I wouldn't worry about it. You may even be better off not using them at all. This company produces vitamins to make money, not make people healthy.

nothing...your body will only use what it needs and the rest will pass through your body.
Also, you should get the chewables. Your body doesn't digest the whole vitamin b/c of the fillers they use to keeping the vitamin together in pill form. So you're actually just passing the vitamin through your body without getting the nutience. chewables are easily digested.

My ex was a body builder, and he used to take at least 6 pills of vitamin everyday. He seemed fine, except he could not keep his pecker in his pants whenever he's alone with any females.

I wouldn't worry about it your body will just eliminate it from your body. The only thing that could happen is a tummy ache.

you won't feel sick or anything but i wouldn't do it again. if your body gets too much of certain vitamins, you can store them as fat or they could be harmful to your body if you're exposed to them for a long period of time. just watch what you're eating and you'll be fine.

One dose won't hurt, but don't make a habit of it. Today you're just extra fortified.
