Vitamins that are chametz

Question:

Is a חולה שאין בו סכנה allowed to take vitamins that are not kosher for Passover

Answer:

In general vitamins are considered a dietary supplement, and not a medicine. Therefore, you should make sure that the vitamins that you take are kosher for Passover, as they may contain chometz or kitnios. If there is a specific need and a specific condition, that would have to be assessed on an individual basis.

Have a chag kasher vsameach.
