Is It Safe To Use Centrum And Multivitamins For Shingles?
My 21 yr old son has had successful chemo and radiation treatment for HL over the last year. He now has shingles and is on anti viral medication. Would a course of multivitamins, like Centrum, be of benefit to him and help to restore his immune system?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
While taking anti-viral medications,your son may take multivitamins like centrum to restore vitamin balance.
But I really doubt that it might also help to increase or restore our immune system.
You can take advise from you treating oncologist who will better know about it.
