Known symptoms of over dosage and particulars of its treatment: Certain vitamins and trace elements do exert toxicity in massive doses. Vitamin A: hypervitaminosis A, caused by the administration of excessive amounts of vitamin A over long periods, is characterised by fatigue, irritability, anorexia, loss of mass, vomiting and other gastro-intestinal tract disturbances, low-grade fever, polyuria, hepatosplenomegaly, pruritus, loss of hair, cracking and bleeding lips, dry skin, hyperkeratosis, and yellow pigmentation. Anaemia, headache and visual disturbances may occur. These symptoms usually disappear rapidly on withdrawal of vitamin A. Subcutaneous swelling, pains in bones and joints, and tenderness over the long bones commonly occur. Vitamin D: hypervitaminosis D, caused by the administration of excessive amounts of vitamin D over long periods, may occur. Excessive intake may cause hypercalcaemia. Symptoms of overdosage are anorexia, lassitude, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, mass loss, polyuria, sweating, headache, extreme thirst and vertigo. Niacinamide: flushing, a sensation of heat, faintness, pounding in the head, urticaria, pruritus, furunculosis, other skin lesions, abdominal cramps, diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting, malaise, anorexia, activation of peptic ulcer, amblyopia, jaundice and impairment of liver function, decrease in glucose tolerance, mild diabetes and hyperuricaemia may occur. Most of these effects subside on withdrawal of niacinamide. It should be given cautiously to patients with a history of peptic ulceration. Vitamin C: large doses may cause diarrhoea and the formation of renal calcium oxalate calculi. Doses of 600 mg or more daily have a diuretic action. Vitamin C should be administered with care to patients with hyperoxaluria. Tolerance may be induced in patients taking high doses. Vitamin B6: long-term administration of large doses of pyridoxine is associated with the development of severe peripheral neuropathies. Vitamin B12: it can mask symptoms of subacute degeneration of the spinal cord. Allergic hypersensitivity reactions have been reported following the administration of vitamin B12 compounds, cyanocobalamin. Administration of doses greater than 10 µg may produce a haematological response in patients with a folate deficiency; indiscriminate use may mask the precise diagnosis. Serum concentrations may be decreased by the concurrent administration of oral contraceptives. Vitamin E: large doses occasionally cause gastro-intestinal disturbances, fatigue and weakness. Iron: gastro-intestinal discomfort, diarrhoea, constipation and vomiting may occur. Side-effects may be reduced by taking the medication with or immediately after food. Stools may become darkened or black in colour. Oral and parenteral iron should not be administered concurrently. Care should be taken in administration to patients with gastro-intestinal diseases. Zinc: ingestion of large quantities of zinc is rapidly followed by nausea and vomiting. Due to its corrosive action, it causes a burning sensation in the oesophagus and stomach. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Contra-indications: In cases of hypersensitivity to any ingredient of the formulation. Iron-containing preparations are contra-indicated in the presence of haemochromatosis, haemosiderosis and haemolytic anaemia. Vitamin D should not be administered with hypercalcaemia. Warnings and special precautions: If you are taking other supplements, read the label, since these supplements may contain the same ingredients. A varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle are important, and RDA 24 should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet.
