Is It Safe To Take Evion 400 Capsule For A Prolonged Time?

I am a 71 year old male and have been taking one Evion 400 capsule (green jelly type) daily for the last 5 years. Is it safe to continue taking it for general health ? Also, please let me know whether Evion 200 would be better than Evion 400 daily. Thanks !

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Evion contains vitamin E. It is used as anti-oxidant and as supplement in proven vitamin E deficiency. There is no role of vitamin E in general improvement of health and it is not recommended for long term use. Its common side effects on long term use are high blood pressure, myopathy, thrombophlebitis, fatigue, weakness, nausea, headache, dizziness, blurred vision, flatulence, diarrhoea, and abdominal pain.
Advice
1.     Stop Evion
2.     You can take capsule Becosule daily for health supplement
3.     Regular exercise at least 30 minutes for 5 days in a week. The best types of exercise include walking, jogging, cycling, swimming or dancing
4.     Eating a diet that is rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products and skimps on saturated fat and cholesterol
5.     Avoid smoking, alcohol, coffee and caffeinated beverages
6.     Lose extra weight if you are overweight and keep your body mass index between 19 and 25. BMI is calculated by formula BMI = Weight in Kilograms / (height in meters x height in meters)
