Lycobold Capsule is generally safe and does not usually cause any side effects if taken in the right dose and duration. However, taking very high doses over time can lead to a condition known as hypervitaminosis A. Symptoms may include fatigue, headache, nausea, irritability, dry or peeling skin, joint pain, and in severe cases, vision problems or liver issues. These usually improve once the supplement is stopped. Always follow the prescribed schedule to avoid such problems.
