This article highlights the serious but reversible effects of multivitamin pill aspiration into the lungs. If diagnosed early and treated promptly the harmful effects of the pill constituents on the lungs and airways can be attenuated. An early bronchoscopy and a high index of suspicion is required in order not to miss these events. We have described a case of multivitamin pill aspiration in a young healthy male and the good response to early intervention.
