Take Hycibex as long as it is recommended by your doctor. Do not take this medicine longer than prescribed as the excess of vitamins can also cause hypervitaminosis A which is high levels of vitamin A in our body that can lead to unpleasant side effects such as irritability, drowsiness, and abdominal pain.
