Retinol, also known as vitamin A1, is an essential fat-soluble vitamin important for vision, immune system function, and cellular growth and differentiation. It is not typically used as a drug for direct treatment but is provided as a nutritional supplement to prevent or treat vitamin A deficiency. It is not classified as an approved prescription medicine for specific diseases in most regulatory systems.
No published studies reporting specific pharmacokinetic parameters for retinol administered as a drug with ATC code R01AX02 (nasal use). Estimates are based on general oral or parenteral supplementation data for retinol in healthy adults.
