Answer
Hello,
Any medication that is tasteless is permissible to take according to the law. However, some are stringent if it is possible to postpone taking it until after Passover. Also, if a kosher alternative can be found.
Generally, there is no problem stopping the intake of vitamins for a week, but if a deficiency is known, they should be taken.
