However, there are some contraindications to the use of Karotolin. Its use is not recommended in case of hypersensitivity to the drug, hypervitaminosis A, alcoholism, liver cirrhosis, viral hepatitis and impaired renal function.

When using Karotolin, side effects associated with hypervitaminosis A may occur, including headache, dizziness, weakness, anxiety, double vision, digestive disorders, skin rashes, dry lips, bone and joint pain, anorexia, ulceration of the skin and mucous membranes.

You should also consider the interaction of Karotolin with some other drugs. Calcium supplements, cholestyramine, mineral oils, neomycin and vitamin E may reduce the absorption of betacarotene.

According to the literature, overdoses of Karotolin have not been recorded, and there are no special instructions for its use.
