Measles and Vitamin A

Vitamin A may be given in a hospital setting to children who already have measles — because measles can deplete vitamin A levels and increase the risk of serious complications.

⚠️Taking high doses of vitamin A on your own can be dangerous, especially for children and pregnant women.

Too much vitamin A can cause toxicity, liver damage, and other serious health problems.

Bottom line: Vitamin A is supportive treatment in specific medical situations — not a substitute for prevention.
