If high doses of vitamin A and drugs to inhibit blood clotting (dicumarol, warfarin) are used at the same time, the anticoagulant effect can be increased.
The simultaneous use of tetracyclines (medicines used to treat bacterial infectious diseases) and vitamin A can lead to an increase in intracranial pressure.
A combination of vitamin A and retinoic acid or its chemical derivatives (e.g. drugs for the treatment of skin diseases) should be avoided as there is a risk of vitamin A overdosing.
There is evidence that vitamin E and vitamin K influence each other in the formation of coagulation factors.
The effects of certain oral medicines used to prevent blood clotting (coumarin or indanedione preparations) can be influenced by high doses of vitamin E.
Vitamin E can make statins (medicines used to lower blood lipids) less effective.
The effect of vitamin E can be reduced by medicines containing iron.
