Treatment and prevention of vitamin D deficiency, management of rickets and osteomalacia, adjunct in osteoporosis and conditions requiring vitamin D supplementation

Cholecalciferol is converted in the liver and kidneys to active vitamin D (calcitriol). It increases intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate and supports bone mineralization and muscle function.

Oral syrup/solution. Take as prescribed by the doctor; commonly 5 ml (60,000 IU) once weekly for a defined duration, then maintenance as advised. Can be taken with or after food (preferably with a meal containing fat) for better absorption. Use a measuring cup/spoon.
