If possible, it may be best to avoid taking multivitamin with minerals while you are being treated with gemifloxacin. Otherwise, gemifloxacin should be taken 2 to 4 hours before or 4 to 6 hours after a multivitamin with minerals dose, gemifloxacin should be taken at least 2 hours before and not less than 6 hours after Suprep Bowel Prep (magnesium/potassium/sodium sulfates), or gemifloxacin and multivitamin with minerals should be taken as directed by your healthcare provider. Talk to your healthcare provider if you are unsure whether your medications contain something that could potentially interact or if you have questions on how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
