Don’t include it after starting on multi-vitamins (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

omit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'don't include' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'it after starting on multi-vitamins' is the wordplay.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'starting' indicates taking the first letters.
'multi-vitamins' becomes 'm' (this could be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
The first letter of 'on' is 'o'.
'o'+'m'='om'
'it' after 'om' is 'OMIT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for omit that I've seen before include "Drop" , "Leave out or exclude" , "Fail to mention" , "Fail (to do something)" , "Disregard" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
