A member asked:

How long could it take to recover from chronic vitamin a toxicity?

Dr. Jason Burke answered

Specializes in Anesthesiology

Depends on dose: It really depends on your age and the dose. Younger people will recover faster. Also, the higher the dose, the longer it will take to recover. Do not get pregnant while your vitamin a level is high, as high levels of vitamin a can cause serious birth defects.
