Does anyone know if its ok to take Liposomal Vitamin C while on Mepron [Atovaquone]? I know you're not supposed to take CoQ10, a fat soluble anti oxidant but what about Lipo Vit C? Will that also possibly interfere with the Mepron's oxidation properties? Thanks!

Take a look at this page from a lyme doc's book. He says not to take Vit E, but no mention of Vit C:

It seems that Vit C is considered an anti-oxidant from a quick Google search I did.

I take it with malarone (similar). Your pharmacist might know.
