Hi,
Taking multivitamin wont help you in relieving acidity problem aggravated by amoxycilin.
I will advise you to take omeprazole twice a day 20 to 30 min prior to food and take amoxicilin immediately after food if possible with milk.
Avoid smoking, late night dinner, lying down immediately after taking food.
Antacids like gelucil may also help you.
