Interactions:

Retinoids: These vitamin A derivatives could have additive toxic effects with vitamin A supplements. Individuals take retinoids should avoid vitamin A supplements. Some retinoids include etretinate, isotretinoin and others.

Hepatotoxic medicines: Excessive doses of vitamin A can cause hepatotoxicity ranging from elevated liver enzymes to liver failure. Individuals combining high doses of vitamin A with hepatotoxic medicines should do so with caution. Some medicines that can adversely affect the liver include paracetamol, amiodarone, carbamazepine, isoniazid, methotrexate, methyldopa and others.

Tetracycline antibiotics: Benign intracranial hypertension can occur with tetracyclines and with vitamin A intoxication. Avoid high doses of vitamin A while using tetracyclines.

Warfarin: Vitamin A toxicity is associated with haemorrhage and hypoprothrombinaemia, possibly due to vitamin K antagonism. High doses of vitamin A could increase the risk of bleeding with warfarin. Individuals taking warfarin should not exceed the Tolerable Upper Intake Level of 10,000 IU/day for adults.
