THE USE AND ABUSE OF VITAMIN A

Sumner J. Yaffe M.D. and L. J. Filer Jr. M.D.

The grave risks resulting from the unrestricted sale of high concentrations of vitamin A make it imperative that an active curb, by appropriate legislation if necessary, be placed on the over-the-counter marketing of high potency vitamin A preparations. Physicians should be aware of the vitamin A content in the preparations they prescribe for their patients. They also should caution parents regarding the dangers of overdosage of this vitamin.
