Contraindications:
Vitamin A is fat-soluble and can become toxic in acute or chronic doses. Acute toxicity can occur in doses > 200 mg or 660,000 IU (adults) or > 100 mg or 333,000 IU (children). Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting and headache. Doses greater than 10,000 IU during pregnancy can be teratogenic (causing birth defects). Some people may be allergic to wheat-based products. Vitamin E is also fat-soluble, but does not involve contraindications at amounts up to 40 times the RDA (400 IU/day). Since vitamin E is an anticoagulant, amounts of vitamin E in excess of 400 IU can potentiate blood-thinning drugs such as coumadin and should not be used concurrently. Large doses of vitamin E are contraindicated in hypertension.
