dr doesn't prescribe actigall or antigas meds post...are there OTC meds...

I have noticed that many post-opers were prescribed actigall and an antigas med post-op. Mine does not. I was wondering if there is an OTC equivalent to the actigal?? I am going to ask my surgeon for a script for the actigall...but I would like to know if there is anything out there OTC just in case. Also, I bought a multi vit that contains 100% of B-12 .... so do I still need a sublingual? Also, was wondering how many pills people take each day...I have a multi (with 100% iron), and calcium cit, vit E (my idea not prescribed), biotin (to nip the hair thing in the bud-hopefully)...This adds up to 8 pills each day (I will take a few at a time throughout the day to get them all in)...I am following the dose amt on the bottles....does this sound right? I know that immediately post-op, I have to take chewables...when do I get to start taking the swallowed ones and do I need to split them into smaller pieces?? Im sorry that I have so many questions, but I know how important it is to do this right...... thank you
