Vitamin A (Palmitate) as 45,000 IU - Is this excessive?

This is a question about the Vita4Life vitamins. The amount they have for Vitamin A (Palmitate) is 45,000 IU and they also have listed A as Beta Carotene as 5,000 IU. I know I heard somewhere that too much Vitamin A is lethal to the body! Can anyone help me about this amount of Vitamin A? I had the BPD/DS on April 4/12/01 with Dr. Elariny in Arlington, VA. He requires 5,000 IU of Vitamin A. I know that you don't have to take the entire dosage of 12 pills, but to get all the other vitamins and ADEKs, you need to. I bought a 1 month supply but am afraid to start taking them. Thanks, Nicole
