Contraindication Notes:
No known contraindications found.
Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant in the body. Vitamin E protects polyunsaturated fatty acids (which are components of cellular membrane) and other oxygen-sensitive substances such as vitamin A & vitamin C from oxidation. In premature neonates irritability, edema, thrombosis and hemolytic anemia may be caused due to vitamin E deficiency. Creatinuria, ceroid deposition, muscle weakness, decreased erythrocyte survival or increased in vitro hemolysis by oxidizing agents have been identified in adults and children with low serum tocopherol concentrations.
Vitamin E may impair the absorption of Vitamin A & function of Vitamin K and potentiates the effect of Warfarin.
Overdosage (>1 gm) have been associated with minor side effects, including hypertension, fatigue, diarrhea and myopathy.
Vitamin E is safe in pregnancy and lactation, when used as recommended doses. Higher doses are not established.
It may increase the risk of thrombosis in some patients, such as those taking estrogens.
Vitamin E is safe for children.
