1. What is Vitaminum A+E Synteza and what is it used for
Vitaminum A+E Synteza contains a mixture of retinol palmitate (vitamin A) and all-rac-α-tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E) in peanut oil.
Vitamin A is necessary for the proper functioning of the vision and reproductive processes, and also participates in the body's immune mechanisms. It plays an important role in the growth process of the body and the differentiation and regeneration of epithelial tissue. A deficiency of vitamin A can lead to night blindness, corneal damage, and other eye problems (xerophthalmia), and in severe cases, to loss of vision. It can also cause skin changes, such as excessive keratinization of the skin, and a decrease in the body's immunity.
Vitamin E is an antioxidant of polyunsaturated fatty acids and phospholipids that make up cell membranes. It counteracts the oxidation of cellular components and the formation of active oxygen free radicals that accelerate cell aging.
Chronic deficiency of vitamin E can lead to neurological disorders.
Vitaminum A+E Synteza is used to treat clinical symptoms (diseases) resulting from a deficiency of vitamins A and E.
2. Important information before using Vitaminum A+E Synteza
When not to use Vitaminum A+E Synteza:
- during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
1/5
During treatment, do not use other medicines containing vitamin A and/or vitamin E, due to the possibility of overdose symptoms.
Warnings and precautions
Particular caution should be exercised when using Vitaminum A+E Synteza:
Children and adolescents
After long-term use in children or after overdose, symptoms of vitamin A poisoning may occur.
Vitaminum A+E Synteza and other medicines
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines you plan to take.
Concomitant treatment with retinoids (isotretinoin, etretinate, bexarotene) and vitamin A in doses above 4,000-5,000 IU per day may cause overdose symptoms of vitamin A. During retinoid treatment, it is not recommended to take vitamin A in doses higher than those mentioned above. Alcohol enhances the toxic effects of vitamin A, while cholestyramine, colestipol, mineral oils, and neomycin reduce the absorption of vitamin A and vitamin E from the gastrointestinal tract.
Vitamin E may act antagonistically to vitamin K, so in patients taking oral anticoagulant medicines or estrogens (female sex hormones) at the same time, the risk of bleeding increases. In high doses, vitamin E may reduce the effectiveness of iron preparations, so it is recommended to maintain a few-hour interval between taking these medicines. Vitamin E may increase the absorption of cyclosporine.
Using Vitaminum A+E Synteza with food and drink
Vitaminum A+E Synteza can be taken regardless of meals.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to have a child, consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Symptoms of overdose occur more frequently in patients whose liver is burdened by taking medicines, those with viral hepatitis, and malnourished patients. Children on a low-protein diet may tolerate vitamin A less well.
