I've been advised by one of the doctors to take a multivitamin called az Ns tablet every day after dinner, and a vitamin D tablet once a month. I'm just wondering, is this really beneficial for my health, or should I be considering a different multivitamin?

Yes, once daily, you can take for 3 months. Excess vitamin will be harmful.
