Doc recommended supplements (nutrition facts included). Thoughts?

Currently on tx Pegasys and Ribavirin and started on Neupogen.  
I am 130 lbs and a couple of inches shorter than 6 ft tall.  
Neutropenia.
I contacted the doctor about possible benefits of taking multivitamins.  I was told that it would be good to just eat properly.  In other words, unless I'm not eating well, the doc recommended:

- Protegra Antioxidant:

- Stresstabs with Zinc:

I actually have been eating well however, there isn't much meat in my diet.

I was reading the nutrition facts under the links and noticed that although none of the two contain iron, the Protegra contains 5000 IU of Vitamin A!  That's a lot of Vitamin A.

Should I start taking these every other day?  Or maybe once/ twice a week instead of everyday?  or not at all?

THANKS!

If they have 5000 IU of vitamin A, you should NOT take them at all.

No iron, no vitamin A. Please check out the site I gave you a few days ago.

www.ebamultivitamin.com  it has NO iron and NO vitamin A

The stresstabs with zinc look good. I would definitely not the the Protegra though.
