Product introduction

Lycobold Capsule should be taken in the dose and duration as directed by your doctor. You should take it regularly and at a fixed time each day to get the most benefit from it. This medicine may be only part of a complete program of treatment that also includes making changes to your diet and taking other medicines and supplements. Learn about the foods you should eat to make sure you get enough vitamin A in your diet.


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.


Do not take Lycobold Capsule if you are allergic to vitamin A or any of its ingredients. Avoid high doses during pregnancy, as excessive vitamin A can cause birth defects. People with liver disease, chronic alcohol use, or kidney problems should also use this medicine with caution. Let your doctor know about all the medicines you are taking, as certain medicines can interfere with its absorption or increase the risk of toxicity.
