  4. Health Queries for Supracal Plus Tablet

  5. I recently consulted an ENT specialist who prescribed Supracal Plus Tablet, A To Z Gold Capsule, Dexorange Capsule, and Becosules Capsule. Since these contain zinc and folic acid, I am worried about taking multiple doses daily. Could this cause any harm or zinc toxicity?

Taking multiple supplements can lead to overlapping intake of the same nutrients, which may exceed the safe daily limits for zinc and folic acid. While short-term use is generally safe, excessive or prolonged intake may cause stomach upset or interfere with the absorption of other minerals. It is best to consult your doctor to review your total daily dosage and avoid any risk of toxicity.
