Description

Vitamin D3 Capsules 50,000 IU are indicated for the treatment of vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in calcium absorption and bone health, and supplementation is often required when dietary intake or sunlight exposure is insufficient. This high-dose formulation is used to restore optimal vitamin D levels, particularly in individuals with osteoporosis or autoimmune diseases, where deficiency can exacerbate symptoms.

The recommended dosage is typically one capsule taken orally, as directed by a healthcare provider. Monitoring of calcium and vitamin D levels is necessary during treatment to avoid the risk of hypercalcemia, which can lead to nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms of vitamin D toxicity. It is important to adjust the dosage if necessary to maintain safe and effective levels of vitamin D in the body.

Vitamin D3 supplementation may interact with certain medications, such as digoxin and thiazide diuretics, which can increase the risk of hypercalcemia. Patients should inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are taking to avoid potential drug interactions.
