Vitamins or supplements with multi-pill dosages: all at once, or throughout the day?

Some of the vitamins & supplements I take have a 2 or 3 pill dosage (serving size). Nowhere on any of the labels does it say to spread these out over the course of the day; is it OK to just take them all at once in the morning?
In particular I am talking about multi-vitamins and an Omega-3 (fish oil) supplement.

Dosages from the same type medication you can take at once.
But a tip:
If you take Codfishoil, some get a foul taste in their mouth during the day, as well as bad breath. Take it before you go to bed instead, that way you don’t have that problem.
And Codfisshoil is most efficient when you take the oil instead of in pill-form. Taste like sh*t, but it’s what works the best!
Thanks for the info. As for the fish oil, I take it in pill form and it has no aftertaste so I just take it in the A.M. along with my vitamins.
You mentioned medications, I assume this applies to vitamins? I am not taking any medications.
I take a multi, D3, B complex, Chinese red yeast rice and two Omega-3 gel caps in AM. At bedtime I take another two Omega-3, one more red yeast rice, and two Cal-magnesium,
I was checking out a new multi-v, and it was a two-gelcap dose. Wasn’t sure if I was supposed to spread it out during the day. I know the water-soluble vitamins can be flushed out if not absorbed, so I thought maybe the dose needed to be spread out to maximize absorption.
