Found this awesome response on YA! and hope it helps 
Your best (and safest) bet would be to ask a pharmacist if there are any interactions listed between the drugs and supplements you're taking. Doctors and pharmacists both have access to a database of drug and supplement interactions and they can tell you quickly if you can safely take them together or not... anyone here will just have a best guess from searching on the internet (which isn't always accurate, as we all know)
That being said, I don't see any reason there would be a problem... there is Iron in many meats and leafy green veggies, which aren't restricted against with the pill.
