Can I take Promethazine and Vitamin d3 together?

Why this happens

Promethazine is an antihistamine processed primarily by the liver's cytochrome P450 enzymes, while vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin that undergoes a different metabolic pathway (hydroxylation in the liver and kidneys). They do not interfere with each other's absorption, metabolism, or effects in the body.

What you should do

You can continue to take both medications as prescribed. As with any supplement, it is best to take vitamin D3 with a meal containing some fat to help with absorption. Promethazine can cause drowsiness, so be aware of how it affects you before driving or operating machinery.
