Multivitamin tablets and supplements

Medically reviewed by Arhum Nadeem, Pharm-D (8 years’ experience as a pharmacist) · Last reviewed: 17 October 2026

The best multivitamins in Pakistan for most adults are a simple once-a-day tablet such as Nutrifactor Vitamax (about Rs 1,140 for 30) or Centrum Adult (about Rs 1,710 for 30). Over-50s can choose Centrum Silver, and women and men can choose gender-specific formulas. But a multivitamin is a top-up, not a cure: if a blood test shows a specific deficiency, such as vitamin D, B12 or iron, a targeted supplement works better and often costs less.

Key points

  • A multivitamin helps fill small gaps in a poor diet; it won’t prevent heart disease or cancer in healthy people.
  • Pregnant women need a prenatal formula with folic acid, not a regular multivitamin.
  • Diagnosed deficiencies (vitamin D, B12, iron) need targeted treatment.
  • Don’t stack several supplements without checking. Vitamin A and iron can build up to harmful levels.
  • Take a multivitamin with food for better absorption and less stomach upset.

Centrum tablet price in Pakistan

Centrum Adult costs about Rs 1,710 for 30 tablets and Centrum Silver (formulated for over-50s) about Rs 1,900 for 30, at Divine Medicines in October 2026. That works out to roughly Rs 57 to Rs 63 a day. Local brands such as Nutrifactor Vitamax offer a similar range of vitamins and minerals for about Rs 30 to Rs 38 a day. Compare the label, not just the brand: check the amounts of vitamin D, B12, folic acid, iron and zinc.

Who actually needs a multivitamin?

A multivitamin is most useful for:

  • People who eat very little, skip meals, or avoid whole food groups (for example, vegetarians who eat few dairy products)
  • Older adults with poor appetite
  • People recovering from illness or surgery, on a doctor’s advice
  • Women planning a pregnancy or pregnant (as a prenatal formula)

If you eat a varied diet with vegetables, fruit, daal, dairy, eggs and meat, you may not need one. Large studies have found that multivitamins don’t prevent heart disease or cancer in healthy adults.

How to choose a multivitamin

  1. Match it to your life stage: over-50 formulas usually contain less iron and more B12 and vitamin D.
  2. Check the label for 100% of daily needs, not mega-doses. More is not better.
  3. Men and women over 50 rarely need extra iron unless a test shows deficiency.
  4. Look for vitamin D and B12, which are commonly low in Pakistan.
  5. Avoid duplicating: if you also take calcium, vitamin D or iron separately, add up the totals.

When a single supplement is better

Vitamin B12Mecobalamin tablets or injections; see our B12 guide
Iron / haemoglobinAn iron tablet; see our iron deficiency guide
Calcium (bone health)Calcium with vitamin D; see our calcium guide

How to take a multivitamin

  • Take it with a meal, once a day.
  • Separate it from thyroid medicine (levothyroxine) and some antibiotics by at least 4 hours, because minerals can block their absorption.
  • Bright yellow urine is normal; it comes from riboflavin (vitamin B2).
  • Keep supplements away from children. Iron-containing tablets are dangerous in overdose.

  • Take blood thinners such as warfarin (vitamin K can affect them)
  • Have kidney disease, or take thyroid, epilepsy or heart medicines
  • Smoke: high-dose beta-carotene supplements have been linked to lung cancer risk in smokers
