Vitamin B extra tablets ?

Funnily enough, there was an article in the Daily Mail health section recently about the side effects of some prescription medicines, and some can deplete other nutrients in the body. An ACE inhibitor type blood pressure tablet, for instance ( the names of these usually end in .....pril, eg ramipril ) can depelete zinc in your body so taking a zinc supplement can help. Statins can deplete vitamin D so my advice would be a multi vitamin and mineral tablet every day, cheap and maybe does some good.
