- organs of the urinary system: development of nocturia, pollakiuria or polyuria;
- organs of the hematopoiesis system: hemolytic form of anemia, development of hyperprothrombinemia or hyperthrombinemia, and in addition thromboembolism. Also in patients with tocopherol deficiency, hematolysis is possible;
- organs of the cardiovascular system: development of tachycardia, temporary lowering of blood pressure, weak pulse filling;
- allergies: development of urticaria or erythema, rash on the skin, itching, dryness and flaking. In addition, spasms of bronchial tubes, facial hyperemia, cracks in the skin of the lips, palms, soles and a nasolabial triangle may appear patches of yellow-orange color. Puffiness under the skin may also appear. Single on the first day of use, there may be a patchy-papular rash that itches (with the use of drugs being discarded). There are also possible reactions at the site of application of drugs;
- other: alopecia, menstrual disorder, the development of hyperbilirubinemia or hypercalcemia, as well as photophobia.
After lowering the dosage or temporarily abolishing the use of drugs, side effects go by themselves.
In the case of skin diseases, the use of the drug for 7-10 days in large doses can provoke an aggravation of the local inflammatory processes (additional treatment is not necessary in this case, the symptoms eventually pass). This effect develops because of the immuno- and myelostimulating properties of drugs.
Due to the long-term use of tocopherol in large daily dosages (400-800 mg), hypothrombinemia may increase. In addition, creatinuria, dizziness, and bleeding in the digestive tract may also occur.
Overdose
Signs of drug overdose are manifestations of hypervitaminosis of types A, E or K.
Overdose of retinol: a feeling of irritability, the appearance of dizziness or confusion, and in addition diarrhea and dehydration of the body in severe form. Also, a generalized rash on the skin is possible, which later begins to peel off large balls, starting with the face. In addition, there may be bleeding from the gums, dryness of the oral mucosa and the appearance of ulcers on it, as well as peeling of the skin on the lips. When palpation of long tubular bones, severe pain can be felt (due to subperiosteal hemorrhage).
Acute or chronic form of hypervitaminosis type A manifests itself in the form of severe headaches, fever, vomiting, drowsiness, vision problems (begins to double in the eyes), dry skin and pain in muscles with joints. In addition, the size of the spleen and liver may increase, pigment spots may appear, jaundice may develop; can change the picture of blood, disappear appetite and there is a loss of strength. With a severe degree of illness, seizures begin, there is a weakness of the heart, and in addition, hydrocephalus develops.
In these cases, symptomatic therapy is required.
Due to the use of an increased dose of tocopherol (400-800 mg per day for an extended period of time), a general feeling of weakness, headaches, dyspepsia and fatigue may develop. It is also possible to increase the risk of thromboembolism in people with a predilection for this disease. In addition, the cholesterol index may increase.
To eliminate manifestations, excretion of tocopherol from the body is required, and then symptomatic treatment is performed.
In the case of hypervitaminosis of type K, hyperprothrombinemia or hyperthrombinemia, or hyperbilirubinemia, and jaundice may develop and the activity of hepatic transaminases may increase. Also possible constipation, diarrhea, pain in the abdomen, skin rash, and in addition a sense of general overexcitation.
As a treatment, a drug cancellation is required. Appointed anticoagulants, which must be taken, controlling the indicators of the system of blood coagulation. Symptomatic therapy is also performed.
Interactions with other drugs
The drug is not allowed to be consumed with estrogen (this increases the risk of hypervitaminosis type A), but also with cholestyramine and nitrites, because they interfere with the absorption of Aecol.
You can not combine it with indirect anticoagulants, but also with silver or iron.
Retinol can not be combined with aspirin and hydrochloric acid. In addition, it weakens the anti-inflammatory properties of GCS.
When combining retinol with vaseline oil, there may be a violation of absorption of the vitamin in the intestine.
Tocopherol promotes rapid absorption and absorption of retinol. It should be taken into account that large doses of tocopherol can provoke a deficiency of retinol in the body.
Tocopherol increases the effectiveness of the medicinal action of steroid drugs and NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen, diclofenac sodium, and prednisolone), and it also reduces the toxic effects of cardiac glycosides (such as digitoxin with digoxin) and vitamin D with retinol. Kolestyramin, and in addition colestipol with mineral oils weaken the absorption of tocopherol.
Tocopherol can increase the effect of anticonvulsants in patients with epilepsy, in which an elevated level of lipid peroxidation products is observed in the blood. Tocopherol with its degradation products is a vitamin K antagonist.
Phylloquinone weakens the effect of indirect anticoagulants (among them coumarin derivatives, as well as indanedione). It does not affect the anticoagulant activity of the substance heparin. In the case of combination with inhibitors and aggregates of fibrinolysis, their haemostatic effect is enhanced.
When combined with antibiotics with a wide range of effects, and besides salicylates (in high dosages), quinine and quinidine, and sulfanilamide drugs, an increase in the dosage of phylloquinone is necessary.
Antacid drugs slow the absorption of the vitamin because bile salts are deposited in the upper part of the small intestine. Colestramine with colestipol, and in addition mineral oils, dactinomycin and sucralfate also slow the absorption of vitamin K.
When combined with hemolytic drugs, the risk of adverse reactions increases.
