摘要
Verteporfin acts through light-activated generation of reactive oxygen species in target tissue. Antioxidants such as beta carotene can quench these species and may blunt the photodynamic effect. The clinical impact is theoretical and not well quantified.

Beta carotene and Verteporfin have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
