I've been wondering about something regarding my husband's medication. He was given Becosule Z to treat his mouth ulcers, and it's helped a lot since they're all cleared up now. But I'm curious, is it alright if he continues taking Becosule Z as a multivitamin for a while? Is it safe to keep using it longer term?
