I started taking Becosule capsules daily for a vitamin deficiency, but now I have mild nausea. Is this normal?

Dear Reader,

Becosule capsules are multivitamin supplements that contain B-complex vitamins (like B1, B2, B6, B12, niacin, folic acid) along with vitamin C and sometimes small amounts of other nutrients. They’re meant to help with vitamin deficiencies, fatigue, and general weakness.

However, these vitamins can sometimes cause mild stomach upset, especially if:

• You take them on an empty stomach,
• You’re sensitive to vitamin B-complex, or
• You’re not used to taking supplements daily.

Common mild side effects include:

• Nausea or queasiness (especially soon after swallowing the capsule)
• Mild stomach discomfort or bloating
• A metallic or strong vitamin taste in the mouth
• Bright yellow urine (harmless and normal due to vitamin B2)

Here’s what you can do:

• Always take Becosule after a full meal, never on an empty stomach.
• Drink a full glass of water with it.
• If nausea continues, you can skip a day or two and then restart after meals to see if it improves.
• Avoid taking it with tea, coffee, or acidic juices, as these can increase stomach irritation.

If the nausea persists even after taking it with food, or you develop vomiting, severe pain, or other symptoms, it’s best to stop for now and consult your doctor. They may prescribe injectable doses if oral medication is poorly tolerated.

In short, mild nausea from Becosule is common and not dangerous, and it usually settles once you start taking it after meals.
