Egel Softgel Capsule

Egel Softgel Capsule, made by Centrum All Range, is a fat-soluble vitamin supplement. Its active ingredient is Vitamin A, and it is used for vitamin A deficiency, night blindness, dry skin, dry eyes and measles in children.

Uses of Egel Softgel Capsule

Egel Softgel Capsule is used to prevent and treat vitamin A deficiency, which can cause night blindness, dry and damaged eyes, rough dry skin and a higher risk of infections. Deficiency is more likely in young children with a poor diet, people with malabsorption problems and those with some liver or bowel conditions. Doctors may also give vitamin A to children with measles to reduce complications.

How Egel Softgel Capsule works

Vitamin A is needed by the retina to make the light-sensitive pigment that lets you see in dim light. It also keeps the surface of the eye, the skin and the linings of the airways and gut healthy, and supports normal immune function and growth.

Possible side effects

At normal supplement doses Egel Softgel Capsule rarely causes problems, but taking too much may lead to:

• Headache
• Nausea or vomiting
• Dry or peeling skin
• Dizziness
• Tiredness or irritability

Get medical help if you develop a severe headache, blurred vision, persistent vomiting, bone or joint pain, or yellowing of the skin, as these can be signs of vitamin A toxicity.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not take more than the recommended amount, and avoid combining several products that contain vitamin A, such as fish liver oils, multivitamins and the acne medicine isotretinoin.
• High doses of vitamin A can harm an unborn baby, so if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, take it only as advised by your doctor and avoid liver and liver products.
• Tell your doctor if you have liver disease or drink alcohol heavily, as vitamin A can build up and damage the liver.
• Long-term high intake may weaken bones, so older adults in particular should not exceed recommended amounts.
• Keep supplements out of the reach of children, and give children only the amount recommended for their age.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
