VITAMIN D

Vitamin D Information

Vitamin D plays a critical role in the absorption of calcium from the patient’s stomach and in the way in which calcium is dealt with (metabolized) inside the patient’s body. For more information about Vitamin D you can consult a pharmacist or a specialized doctor.

However, such clinical combinations (that contain a certain amount of Vitamin D) can also be used to treat other medical conditions than those listed in the medication guide, under the doctor’s determination.

Vitamin D Intake Guidelines

Try to take Vitamin D exactly as the doctor directed to you, without making any changes to your intake routine, in order to achieve maximum benefits from your therapy. If you do not completely understand the doctor’s directions you can follow those in the prescription label or you can also consult with a pharmacist, who can give you further medical support. In most of the cases combinations that involve Vitamin D are prescribed to be taken in along with a full glass of water. There are cases in which doctors can prescribe it to be taken with food (especially in the case of individuals who are suffering from a sensitive stomach). Do not crush or chew the tablets because you can risk the release of too much medication at the same time, leading to over-dosage. Try to store the medication at room temperature, away from moisture and heat, keeping it away from children.

Vitamin D Dosage

In most of the cases, the doses of Vitamin D are prescribed differently from a patient to another, depending on the severity of the condition and the way the patient’s body reacts to the therapy. During the treatment, under close monitoring and proper examinations, the doctor can adjust the patient’s dosage in order to achieve maximum benefits. Do not change the prescribed dose without consulting the doctor because you can risk an overdose, which means a worsening of your current condition.

The most common signs of an overdose with Vitamin D include the following: irregular heartbeat, abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, dry mouth sensation and a metallic taste, decreased appetite, constipation, weakness, confusion, headache, delirium, stupor, and in severe cases, even coma.

Vitamin D Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of Vitamin D try to take it as soon as you remember. But if it is time to take the next dose, you can skip the missed one and continue with the normal dosing schedule. Do not take two doses of this medication (Vitamin D) at the same time as to replace the missed ones, because you can risk experiencing an overdose, which is known to worsen your current condition.

Vitamin D Side Effects

Like any other medicine, Vitamin D can cause certain unwanted manifestations, also known as side effects. These manifestations can appear as minor, which can go away as the treatment evolves and as the patient’s body accommodates with it, but they also can become serious, requiring medical attention. Stop taking the medication and seek emergency medical attention if you start experiencing one of these symptoms of an allergic reaction: difficulty breathing, closing of the throat, swelling of the lips, face or tongue, and hives.
