when both melphalan and vitamin A combine both effect of action increases by synergism.
It may reduce the toxic effects of mechlorethamine
It may reduce the toxic effects of busulfan. (pharmacodynamic synergism)
when both drugs are combined, there may be an enhanced effect of therapeutic efficacy and reduced toxicity of antineoplastic drugs
when both drugs are combined, there may be an enhanced therapeutic efficacy and reduced toxicity of anticancer drugs by synergism
the synergistic effect of vitamin A shows the enhanced efficacy of mercaptopurine and reduces the toxicity of anticancer drugs
the effect of gemcitabine is increased due to synergism between vitamin A and gemcitabine
antioxidants may enhance the efficacy of the antineoplastic drug
the effect of fluorouracil is increased due to synergism between vitamin A and fluorouracil
may enhance the efficacy and reduce toxic effects

Pregnancy Category: A (oral); C
Lactation:
Excreted into human milk is known
Pregnancy Categories:
Category A: well-controlled and Satisfactory studies show no risk to the fetus in the first or later trimester.
Category B: there was no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal studies, and there were no enough studies on pregnant women.
Category C: there was evidence of risk of adverse effects in animal reproduction studies, and no adequate evidence in human studies must take care of potential risks in pregnant women.
Category D: adequate data available with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh the risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category
Generic Name: vitamin A
Why do we use vitamin A?
vitamin A is an Fat-Soluble Vitamin used to prevent Measles and treat vit A deficiency.
