1,2,3 -- The medication could cause hypersensitivity to sun. Vitamin A supplements are to be avoided, as they might increase the effects of the medication. The medication could reduce night vision, so caution is recommended. The medication should be taken with meals. The use of two reliable methods of contraception is needed the month prior to, during, and one month after use of the medication.

Very informative.
