Adverse Reactions

There are no adverse reactions listed in the manufacturer’s labeling.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to vitamin E or any component of the formulation

Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• Vitamin K deficiency: May induce vitamin K deficiency (Corkins 2010).

Special populations:

• Low birth weight infants: Necrotizing enterocolitis has been associated with oral administration of large dosages (eg, >200 mg of alpha-tocopherol/day) of a hyperosmolar vitamin E preparation in low birth weight infants.

Dosage form specific issues:

• Polysorbate 80: Some dosage forms may contain polysorbate 80 (also known as Tweens). Hypersensitivity reactions, usually a delayed reaction, have been reported following exposure to pharmaceutical products containing polysorbate 80 in certain individuals (Isaksson 2002; Lucente 2000; Shelley 1995). Thrombocytopenia, ascites, pulmonary deterioration, and renal and hepatic failure have been reported in premature neonates after receiving parenteral products containing polysorbate 80 (Alade 1986; CDC 1984). See manufacturer’s labeling.

Warnings: Additional Pediatric Considerations

Excessive intake of vitamin E may be associated with adverse effects, including hemorrhagic effects; use caution when total daily intake from all sources (any form of alpha-tocopherol) exceeds the recommended age-based daily upper limit: 1 to 3 years: 200 mg; 4 to 8 years: 300 mg; 9 to 13 years: 600 mg; 14 to 18 years: 800 mg; ≥19 years: 1,000 mg; monitor serum concentrations (IOM 2000).

Some dosage forms may contain propylene glycol; in neonates large amounts of propylene glycol delivered orally, intravenously (eg, >3,000 mg/day), or topically have been associated with potentially fatal toxicities which can include metabolic acidosis, seizures, renal failure, and CNS depression; toxicities have also been reported in children and adults including hyperosmolality, lactic acidosis, seizures, and respiratory depression; use caution (AAP 1997; Shehab 2009).

Additional Information

Vitamin E, also known as alpha-tocopherol, occurs as several different isomers. Two are biologically active: Naturally sourced vitamin E (RRR-alpha-tocopherol; commonly labeled d-alpha tocopherol) is found in foods; synthetic-sourced vitamin E (2,S and 2,R sterioisomers or all-racemic alpha-tocopherol; commonly labeled dl-alpha tocopherol) is found in fortified foods and supplements (IOM 2000; NIH 2021).

Administration: Pediatric

Oral: May administer with or without food. Swallow capsules whole; do not crush or chew.

Administration: Adult

Swallow capsules whole; do not crush or chew.

Storage/Stability

Protect from light.

Use

Vitamin E dietary supplement (OTC product: FDA approved in all ages). Note: Approved ages and uses for OTC products vary; consult labeling for specific information.

Medication Safety Issues

Sound-alike/look-alike issues:

Aquasol E may be confused with Anusol

Metabolism/Transport Effects

None known.

Agents with Antiplatelet Effects: Vitamin E (Systemic) may increase antiplatelet effects of Agents with Antiplatelet Effects. Risk C: Monitor

Anticoagulants: Vitamin E (Systemic) may increase anticoagulant effects of Anticoagulants. Risk C: Monitor

CycloSPORINE (Systemic): Vitamin E (Systemic) may decrease serum concentration of CycloSPORINE (Systemic). Vitamin E (Systemic) may increase serum concentration of CycloSPORINE (Systemic). Risk C: Monitor

Ibrutinib: Vitamin E (Systemic) may increase antiplatelet effects of Ibrutinib. Risk C: Monitor

Orlistat: May decrease absorption of Vitamins (Fat Soluble). Management: Administer oral fat soluble vitamins at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after the administration of orlistat. Avoid concomitant administration due to the risk of impaired vitamin absorption. Risk D: Consider Therapy Modification

Selumetinib: May increase adverse/toxic effects of Vitamin E (Systemic). Management: If selumetinib is combined with additional vitamin E supplements, ensure that the total daily intake of vitamin E (including the amount of vitamin E in selumetinib and the supplement) does not exceed the recommended or safe limits. Risk D: Consider Therapy Modification

Therapeutic Antiplatelets: Vitamin E (Systemic) may increase antiplatelet effects of Therapeutic Antiplatelets. Risk C: Monitor

Tipranavir: May increase adverse/toxic effects of Vitamin E (Systemic). Management: Patients taking tipranavir oral solution are advised to avoid taking additional vitamin E, beyond the amounts contained in a multivitamin product. This interaction does not apply to tipranavir capsules. Risk D: Consider Therapy Modification

Dietary Considerations

Dietary Recommended intake (IOM 2000): Note: Adequate intake (AI) and recommended dietary allowance (RDA) represent alpha-tocopherol intake from dietary consumption.

1 to 6 months: AI: 4 mg/day.

7 to 12 months: AI: 5 mg/day.

1 to 3 years: RDA: 6 mg/day.

4 to 8 years: RDA: 7 mg/day.

9 to 13 years: RDA: 11 mg/day.

14 to 18 years: RDA: 15 mg/day.

>18 years: RDA: 15 mg/day.

Pregnant female:

14 to 18 years: RDA: 15 mg/day.

19 to 50 years: RDA: 15 mg/day.

Lactating female:

14 to 18 years: RDA: 19 mg/day.

19 to 50 years: RDA: 19 mg/day.

Pregnancy Considerations

Vitamin E crosses the placenta. Maternal serum concentrations of α tocopherol increase with lipid concentrations as pregnancy progresses; however, placental transfer remains constant. Additional supplementation is not needed in pregnant patients without deficiency (IOM 2000).

Monitoring Parameters

Plasma tocopherol concentrations, vitamin E to serum lipids ratio.

Reference Range

Plasma tocopherol: 5 to 20 mcg/mL (SI: 11.6 to 46.4 micromole/L), some method variation (IOM 2000).

Serum vitamin E to serum lipid ratio (AAP 2019):

Deficiency:

Infants: <0.6 mg total tocopherol/g total lipid.

Children and Adolescents: <0.8 mg total tocopherol/g total lipid.

Target for deficiency correction: 0.8 to 1 mg total tocopherol/g total lipid.

Mechanism of Action

Prevents oxidation of vitamin A and C; protects polyunsaturated fatty acids in membranes from attack by free radicals and protects red blood cells against hemolysis

Pharmacokinetics (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Absorption: Depends on presence of bile; reduced in conditions of malabsorption, in low birth weight premature infants, and as dosage increases; water miscible preparations are better absorbed than oil preparations

Distribution: To all body tissues, especially adipose tissue, where it is stored

Metabolism: Hepatic to glucuronides

Excretion: Feces
