Assuming you are referring to a subpoena in a civil case (i.e. lawsuit by one person involved in a car accident against the other) the answer depends on a couple of items, which are not provided in your Question. These include whether it is: (1) for a deposition or trial; and (2) where the witness is in relation to the place of the deposition or trial. Generally, a subpoena may be served: (1) personally or (2) by mailing a copy thereof by either registered or certified mail not less than six days before the trial day of the cause upon which said witness is required to attend. This is directly from Nebraska Revised Statute 25-1226. Where the person resides also is relevant to whether a person can be subpoenaed to appear at a certain location. The law is: Witnesses in civil cases cannot be compelled to attend a trial out of the state where they are served or at a distance of more than one hundred miles from the place of their residence or from the place where they are served with a subpoena, unless within the same county. Witnesses in civil cases shall not be obliged to attend a deposition outside the county of their residence or outside the county where the subpoena is served. For a deposition, a person may be subpoenaed and required to appear as long as the deposition is taken within their county of residence. For example, if the case is filed in Lincoln but the witness lives in Kearney, the witness could be subpoenaed for his or her deposition (and required to appear) as long as the deposition is taken within Buffalo County (Kearney is located in Buffalo County). A judge may, under certain circumstances and conditions, order a person to appear despite this residency or location rule. Subpoenaed witnesses may be entitled to their associated travel expenses under certain circumstances. DISCLAIMER: This response is based on the limited information provided, makes certain assumptions, and assumes that all events took place in Nebraska. In addition, this response is not a substitute for professional legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship, nor is it a solicitation to offer legal advice. If you ignore this warning and convey confidential information in a private message or comment, there is no duty to keep that information confidential or forego representation adverse to your interests. You should seek the advice of a licensed attorney in the appropriate jurisdiction before taking any action that may affect your rights. If you believe you have a claim, you should consult an attorney immediately, otherwise there is a risk that the time allotted to bring your claim may expire.

There are a number of problems with such a suit. First, if the rash cleared up and you have no permanent problems, your damages may not be sufficient to justify such a suit (the expenses of such a suit may exceed what you recover). Second, the fact that you took the pill and later had this reaction does not prove the pill caused it. It might be the most likely cause, but I think you would need more. You may need to have a doctor test for allergic reaction to the various ingredients in the pill. third, having an allergic reaction to a vitamin in of itself does not make the manufacturer or seller liable. You would have to show that the vitamin is unreasonably dangerous. In this case, it would probably involve showing that the pill contained and ingredient that causes this same reaction to a significant percentage of the population as a whole.
