Homilan D3 Tab

Tablet

Treatment and prevention of vitamin D deficiency, supportive therapy in osteoporosis/osteopenia, rickets/osteomalacia, hypocalcaemia due to vitamin D deficiency

Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) is converted in the body to active vitamin D metabolites that increase absorption of calcium and phosphate from the gut. It helps maintain normal blood calcium levels and supports bone mineralisation and muscle function.

Take as advised by your doctor. Swallow the tablet with water, preferably with or after food (fat-containing meal improves absorption). Do not exceed the prescribed dose; vitamin D dosing may be daily/weekly/monthly depending on deficiency.

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

Use with caution in kidney disease, history of kidney stones, hypercalcaemia, hypervitaminosis D, sarcoidosis or other granulomatous diseases. Avoid taking additional vitamin D or calcium supplements unless prescribed. Overdose may cause hypercalcaemia and kidney damage; seek medical help if severe nausea, confusion, excessive thirst/urination occur.

Thiazide diuretics (e.g., hydrochlorothiazide) may increase risk of hypercalcaemia, digoxin and other cardiac glycosides (arrhythmia risk with high calcium), anticonvulsants (phenytoin/phenobarbital/carbamazepine) may reduce effect, rifampicin may reduce effect, corticosteroids may reduce effect, cholestyramine/orlistat may reduce absorption, magnesium-containing antacids (risk of hypermagnesaemia in renal impairment)

Store at room temperature (below 25°C), protect from light and moisture, keep in original pack, keep out of reach of children.
