Treatment and prevention of vitamin D deficiency, vitamin D insufficiency, osteomalacia and rickets, adjunct in osteoporosis management, support for calcium absorption and bone health

Cholecalciferol is converted in the body to active vitamin D metabolites that increase intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate. This helps maintain normal blood calcium levels and supports bone mineralization and muscle function.

Take by mouth as advised by the doctor. Commonly used as 60000 IU once weekly for a few weeks, then once monthly/maintenance as directed. Swallow whole with water; preferably take with food (or after meals) to improve absorption.

Nausea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, headache, increased thirst, increased urination, weakness

Do not use in hypercalcemia, hypervitaminosis D, severe renal impairment, kidney stones, or sarcoidosis unless advised by a doctor. Excess intake can cause vitamin D toxicity leading to high calcium levels (confusion, vomiting, dehydration, arrhythmias). Use with caution in kidney disease and in patients on calcium supplements; monitor serum calcium and vitamin D levels if on high-dose/long-term therapy.

Thiazide diuretics (risk of hypercalcemia), digoxin/cardiac glycosides (arrhythmia risk with hypercalcemia), anticonvulsants like phenytoin/phenobarbital and rifampicin (reduced vitamin D effect), corticosteroids (reduced absorption/effect), cholestyramine/orlistat (reduced absorption), aluminum/magnesium antacids in renal disease (risk of toxicity)
