I am no expert in taking medicine but I do have some information for you. I suggest you ask your local doctor if a multivitamin calcium and iron supplement can be taken at the same time. If you don't ask for advice, it could cause you problems in future. Depending on your condition your doctor will advise you and help you choose the right medicine

For most people this is not a big deal and taking all of your supplements at the same time is fine, especially if it helps you remember to take them. If you are iron deficient, or at risk of becoming iron deficient (as in pregnancy), then it is best to take the iron on an empty stomach with something acidic such as orange juice or a vitamin C tablet.

Does milk have iron?
Yes milk can have some low percentage of iron, but because of the higher levels of calcium and iron would be depleted. Iron and calcium take away from each other or stop the intake of one another. So if you take a iron supplement do not take it with milk, but rather a fruit juice such as orange juice that is high in vitamin c. Studies show that iron is better adsorbed with vitamin c
