• Severe hepatic disease. Renal failure. Active peptic ulcer. Arterial hemorrhaging, severe hypotension.

• Calcium: Orally administered calcium salts may be irritating to the GI tract and constipation.
• Vitamin B1: Usually the allergic type.
• Vitamin B2: Large doses result in a bright yellow discoloration of the urine which may interfere with certain laboratory tests.
• Vitamin B6: Using dose of 200 mg vitamin B daily in 2 months is associated with the development of severe peripheral neuropathy.
• Vitamin D3: Hypervitaminosis D may occur when the acute or long-term administration of excessive amounts of vitamin D or enhanced responsiveness to normal amounts of the vitamin leads to clinical manifest derangement in calcium metabolism.

• Vitamin E: Large doses may cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, and other gastrointestinal disturbances, and may also cause fatigue and weakness.

• Calcium salts should be given cautiously to patients with renal impairment, or diseases associated with hypercalcaemia such as sarcoidosis and some malignancies. In addition, they should generally be avoided in patients with calcium renal calculi, or a history of renal calculi.
• Sarcoidosis or hypoparathyroidism may have increased sensitivity to vitamin D.
• Large doses of nicotinamide should be administered with caution to patients with a history of peptic ulcer disease, gallbladder disease or a history of jaundice or liver disease, diabetes mellitus, gout, gout arthritis or allergy.
