The liquid also includes inactive ingredients — glycerin, purified water, polyethoxylated castor oil, citric acid, and potassium sorbate — that help deliver and preserve the supplement.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: eye and vision health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cataracts, Corneal abrasion, Night vision, Photoreactive keratectomy, Retinitis pigmentosa, Retinopathy of prematurity — and 3 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Vitamin A is rated "Effective" for Vitamin A deficiency (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Vitamin A is rated "Possibly Effective" for Night vision, Retinitis pigmentosa.
  • Also on file: Vitamin A is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cataracts, Photoreactive keratectomy, Retinopathy of prematurity, Prematurity.

Vitamin A is effective for treating vitamin A deficiency. It's also possibly effective for oral leukoplakia (precancerous patches in the mouth), aging skin, measles, ulcerative colitis (inflammatory bowel disease), and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (a lung condition in premature infants).

If you're taking it for one of these other uses, the evidence is promising but not yet conclusive.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin A

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Vitamin A is generally well tolerated at recommended doses, but here's the catch: it builds up in your body over time, so high doses can become toxic. At very high doses, vitamin A can cause serious effects like increased pressure in the brain, liver damage, headache, blurred vision, and in rare cases, coma or death.

Chronic overuse causes fatigue, dry and cracking skin, hair loss, and brittle nails. Young children are more vulnerable to toxicity from large single doses than adults are.

For pregnancy and breastfeeding, the safety picture is mixed in our data. At normal dietary amounts and recommended supplement doses, vitamin A is appropriate.

However, high doses — especially as retinol — carry a risk of birth defects and should be avoided in pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what dose is right for you if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin A

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Vitamin A.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 388 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking these drops, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take retinoid medications (like tretinoin or isotretinoin for acne or skin conditions) — a Major interaction risk. Also flag tetracycline antibiotics, blood thinners such as warfarin, or any medications known to affect liver function, all of which carry Moderate interaction risks with high-dose vitamin A.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is a straightforward way to get vitamin A if you're deficient or want to support skin and immune health. It's most useful for correcting deficiency, though some research backs its use for other conditions.

The main thing to watch: don't exceed recommended doses, and clear it with your own doctor or pharmacist if you take retinoid medications, blood thinners, tetracycline antibiotics, or drugs that stress your liver — the combination can be risky.

Vitamin A4 drug types · 387 drugs

Retinoids

Concomitant use of retinoids with vitamin A supplements might produce supratherapeutic vitamin A levels.
Retinoids, which are vitamin A derivatives, could have additive toxic effects when taken with vitamin A supplements.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence C
Tetracycline Antibiotics

Theoretically, taking tetracycline antibiotics with high doses of vitamin A can increase the risk of pseudotumor cerebri.
Benign intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri) can occur with tetracyclines and with acute or chronic vitamin A toxicity. Case reports suggest that taking tetracyclines and vitamin A concurrently can increase the risk of this condition. Avoid high doses of vitamin A in people taking tetracyclines chronically.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, high doses of vitamin A could increase the risk of bleeding with warfarin.
Vitamin A toxicity is associated with hemorrhage and hypoprothrombinemia, possibly due to vitamin K antagonism. Advise patients taking warfarin to avoid doses of vitamin A above the tolerable upper intake level of 10,000 IU/day for adults.

Vitamin A Drops 1,507 mcg RAE by Seeking Health: Common Questions

Does Vitamin A Drops 1,507 mcg RAE by Seeking Health interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Vitamin A Drops 1,507 mcg RAE has a known interaction with 387 medications, including 9 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Vitamin A Drops 1,507 mcg RAE contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is this safe to take while I'm pregnant?
At normal dietary amounts and the recommended supplement dose, vitamin A is appropriate in pregnancy. However, high doses — especially as retinol — can raise the risk of birth defects and should be avoided. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what dose is right for you right now.
What does RAE mean on the label?
RAE stands for retinol activity equivalents. It's the standard way to measure how much vitamin A your body can actually use, accounting for different forms of vitamin A and how well your body absorbs them.
Can vitamin A really be toxic?
Yes — unlike water-soluble vitamins, vitamin A is fat-soluble, so it builds up in your body over time. Very high doses can cause serious problems including liver damage, increased pressure in the brain, and in rare cases, coma or death. That's why it's important not to exceed recommended amounts.
Will this help my acne or aging skin?
Vitamin A is possibly effective for aging skin and oral leukoplakia (mouth tissue changes), based on the evidence we hold. If you're looking for acne treatment, ask your doctor — they may recommend a prescription retinoid instead, which you cannot combine with these drops.
What are the side effects if I take too much?
Chronic overuse causes fatigue, dry and cracking skin, hair loss, brittle nails, and rashes. Very high doses can trigger headache, blurred vision, and even raised pressure in the brain. Young children are especially vulnerable to toxicity from large doses.
Can I take this with other supplements?
Most supplements are fine, but it's worth checking — especially if you take anything else containing vitamin A or retinoids. Use the interaction checker on this page with your full supplement list, or talk to your pharmacist to be sure.
