If you're asking whether you should take 2 different drugs containing the same generic ingredient at the same time, such as a vitamin C supplement and multivitamin-supplement, then the answer is no. Taking multiple drugs with the same active ingredient is a very common method of causing toxicity since excessive levels of the active ingredient are introduced into the body all at once. Even something generally considered harmless like vitamin C can produce serious toxicity, such as sickle-cell crisis and gout, when taken at very high levels.
