What is the dose of a 25,000 IU dose of Aquasol capsules?

Aquasol A 25,000 IU capsules treat vitamin A deficiency but require doctor-prescribed dosing, not self-medication, due to toxicity risks above 25,000 IU daily long-term.

Standard Dosing

Adults: 100,000 IU daily for 3 days, then 50,000 IU for 2 weeks, followed by multivitamin maintenance (10,000-20,000 IU). One 25,000 IU capsule equals a single dose unit; take with food as directed. Children 1-8 years: 17,500-35,000 IU daily for 10 days; infants: 7,500-15,000 IU.

Precautions

Prolonged >25,000 IU risks hypervitaminosis A (nausea, liver damage); monitor blood levels. Consult for deficiency confirmation.
