Uses & Benefits
Treatment and prevention of vitamin D deficiency, vitamin D insufficiency, osteomalacia and rickets, adjunct in osteoporosis management, support for calcium absorption and bone health
How It Works
Cholecalciferol is converted in the body to active vitamin D (calcitriol). It increases intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate and supports bone mineralisation, helping correct vitamin D deficiency.
Directions for Use
Tablet/oral use as prescribed by a doctor. Commonly taken once weekly or as directed; can be taken with or after food (preferably with a meal containing fat) to improve absorption. Swallow with water; do not exceed recommended dose.
Side Effects
Nausea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, headache, weakness, increased thirst, increased urination
Warnings & Precautions
Use with caution in kidney disease, history of kidney stones, hypercalcaemia, hypervitaminosis D, sarcoidosis or other granulomatous disorders. Excess dosing may cause hypercalcaemia with symptoms like confusion, severe nausea/vomiting, muscle weakness or irregular heartbeat—seek medical help. Monitor calcium, phosphate and renal function if on high-dose/long-term therapy.
Drug Interactions
Thiazide diuretics (risk of hypercalcaemia), digoxin/other cardiac glycosides (arrhythmia risk with high calcium), antiepileptics like phenytoin/carbamazepine and rifampicin (reduced vitamin D effect), corticosteroids (reduced vitamin D effect), cholestyramine/orlistat (reduced absorption), aluminium/magnesium antacids in renal impairment (toxicity risk), calcium supplements (additive hypercalcaemia risk)
