The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a consumer warning against the use of Soladek, an over-the-counter vitamin supplement produced by Indo Pharma, S.A., of the Dominican Republic because the product may contain dangerously high levels of vitamins A and D. Soladek claims to treat "hypo and avitaminosis, rickets, growth, dentition, lactation, fractures, infection, convalescence, protection and regeneration of certain epithelium (bronchial, glandular, ocular, cutaneous), corticotherapy, aging and pregnancy." The product is sold in a box labeled in Spanish and contains a vial of the solution. The FDA has, so far, received seven reports of serious health problems caused by the product. Symptoms of vitamin A toxicity include anemia, anorexia, alopecia, joint pain, bone weakness, bulging eyes, liver abnormalities, and birth defects. Symptoms of vitamin D toxicity include weakness, fatigue, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, changes in mental status, increased blood pressure, abnormal heart rate or rhythm, kidney damage, and coma.
