Suppresses absorption of Vitamin A. This medication is commonly used for Stomach Acid
Vitamin A plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy gut lining, which is crucial for overall stomach health. This is why some research has explored its potential use alongside other medications for treating ulcers. Research suggests vitamin A supplementation may be effective specifically for treating ulcers alongside H2 blockers.

Vitamin A deficiency can damage the surface of the eye in both children and adults, progressing from dry, uncomfortable eyes and night‑vision problems to xerophthalmia and, in severe cases, permanent blindness if it is missed. Regular vitamin A from food and, when appropriate, thoughtfully used supplements can meaningfully reduce this risk; in one large analysis, children in the highest overall intake group had about a 62 percent lower risk of xerophthalmia than those in the lowest group (multivariate relative risk 0.38, 95 percent confidence interval 0.19–0.74). Vitamin A deficiency and xerophthalmia have been documented not just in low‑resource settings but also in at‑risk children and adults in developed countries, so anyone with unexplained dry eyes, night‑vision changes, or corneal findings should have vitamin A status considered and be referred promptly for ophthalmology review to help protect their sight.
