Vitamin A and Olutasidenib

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

HEPATOTOXIC DRUGS

Why this applies to Olutasidenib

Olutasidenib falls under HEPATOTOXIC DRUGS — the group Vitamin A interacts with.

Theoretically, taking high doses of vitamin A in combination with other potentially hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of liver disease.
The tolerable upper intake level (UL) is the highest level of intake that is likely to pose no risk of adverse effects. Doses of vitamin A above the UL can cause hepatotoxicity, ranging from elevated liver enzymes to liver failure.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence C

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the key thing to know about olutasidenib (Rezlidihia), the medicine used to treat certain types of acute myeloid leukemia (AML): it can be tough on the liver on its own. This drug carries a warning about raising liver enzymes and, in rare cases, causing more serious liver problems. So the concern here isn't about how vitamin A changes the drug. It's about two liver stressors stacking up.

This warning is theoretical and based on expert opinion, not hard proof. Normal food and a standard multivitamin almost never push vitamin A high enough to matter. The real worry is high-dose vitamin A supplements, which by themselves can strain the liver. Since you're already being watched with liver blood tests on olutasidenib, please run any vitamin A supplement past your oncology team or pharmacist first.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Olutasidenib page

“Olutasidenib (Rezlidihia) treats a form of acute myeloid leukemia, where keeping drug levels steady genuinely matters, so I'd approach this list with real care. Six of the 180 ingredients rate major, and they split into two problems: products that change how much olutasidenib reaches your blood, and products that strain the liver.”

About Vitamin A

What is Vitamin A?

  • Eye and vision health
  • Skin health and acne
  • Immune support
  • Correcting vitamin A deficiency
  • Childhood growth and development

Vitamin A is an essential nutrient important for vision, skin, immune function, and growth. Most people get enough from a balanced diet, and supplements are mainly useful for correcting a true deficiency. Because vitamin A is fat-soluble and can build up to harmful levels, more is not better, and high doses are especially risky in pregnancy.
