Posted on Sat, 3 May 2014
Question: Is it safe to take a biotin supplement daily while on prescription meds? I take 75 mg of Effexor each morning, then 1 mg of klonopin along with .25 of trazadone each night for sleep.I have struggled with severe insomnia almost all of my life and this combo works well for me the past 3 years.So I really don't want to change what works.But I am getting remarried next year and have read that biotin is beneficial in hair, nail and skin health.Please advise and thank you for your response.

Brief Answer: It is safe to take biotin with your medicines. Detailed Answer: Hello! Thank you for the query. Biotin is n organic substance (vitamin) which is present in foods you probably eat every day (like tomatoes, chicken meat, eggs, milk, butter, nuts). And for sure mentioned products do not affect mentioned medicines. So you can freely use Biotin supplement in regular dosage along with your medicines. Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions. Regards.
