Vitamin A plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes of the body and maintaining vision and immune system function to support skin health and cell growth. Although vitamin A is essential for the body, excessive intake can pose various adverse effects, disrupting the body’s equilibrium and overall well-being. Vitamin A toxicity, also known as hypervitaminosis A, can result from either the excessive consumption of vitamin A and related compounds or its topical application. This activity describes the causes, evaluation, management, treatment, and prevention of vitamin A toxicity, emphasizing the essential role of the interprofessional healthcare team in enhancing care for affected patients.
