Don't see why not.

Talk to your doctor.

A multivitamin won't interact with the bcp. However, if you are placed on an antibiotic that can lower the effects of the bcp. Any drug questions can also be referred to a pharmacist which can be easier to access than the doctor.

yes, they have absolutely nothing to do with eachother, eating is like taking a multivitamin (except a multivitamin doesnt have any calories, just the nutrients from food), would you stop eating for birth control?

You definitely can take a multi while on birth control. I always have, and have never had a problem. You'd probably be best off with a woman's multi, since that will have more of what you need in it (like folic acid). I like the Every Woman's One Daily because you really only have to take one a day...some require you to take up to 4 pills in a day. I get mine at seacoastvitamins.com because the prices are really good.
