Oops yes.
 
They are a lot cheaper in the Aldi/Lidl stores - can't remember exactly,
but the ones I bought recently are chewable cherry (for kids like me,
obviously) at <$2 for 30. I'm pretty sure the pill-form multivitamins
were about $1.

Yes - amlodopine in my case. I suspect there could be a link, but the
doctor won't be drawn.

"Calcium channel blockers (such as verapamil ) -- These medications,
used to treat high blood pressure and heart conditions, may decrease the
production of vitamin D by the body. ... This is because vitamin D
improves absorption of calcium."

Ah thanks! This will inform part of the conversation I next have with my
doctor (3 weeks to get an appointment which he asked for - and then by

I do take a 'senior' vitamin from Kroger, no iron, and it's 300 caplets for
about $10. I'll have to take a look at the price next week when I go grocery
shopping.
