Are there any situations where I should check with a doctor or pharmacist before using this supplement?

This is a food supplement, but that does not mean it is automatically suitable for everyone. Before starting it, consider your own situation. The manufacturer’s guidance says it is sensible to check first with a doctor or pharmacist if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, sensitive to any ingredient, or planning to combine it with other high-dose vitamin A products. It is also a good idea to ask if you have a chronic condition or take prescription medicine regularly.

If you already get a significant amount of vitamin A from food or from a multivitamin, it is worth checking the total. Vitamin A can build up in the body, so high amounts taken over a long period are not advisable. A doctor or pharmacist can help you assess whether this product is appropriate for you.

This supplement is not a substitute for a varied diet. If you suspect a deficiency, or if you have persistent skin, joint or other symptoms, the right first step is to discuss it with a doctor or pharmacist rather than relying on a supplement.
