Cholecalciferol is a fat-soluble vitamin that promotes calcium absorption in the gut and maintains adequate serum calcium and phosphate levels to enable normal mineralization of bone. It also plays a role in immune modulation and cell proliferation.

Indicated in the treatment and prevention of Vitamin D3 deficiency, rickets, osteomalacia, and as a supplement in osteoporosis management. Also used in cases of chronic hypoparathyroidism.

Hypersensitivity to cholecalciferol or any excipient in the formulation. Hypercalcemia, hypervitaminosis D, or malabsorption syndrome.

Caution in patients with renal impairment, cardiovascular disease, or those receiving digitalis. Monitor serum calcium and phosphate during high-dose therapy.

Interactions may occur with thiazide diuretics, antiepileptics (phenytoin, phenobarbital), corticosteroids, orlistat, and cholestyramine, reducing efficacy.

Vitamin D3 supplementation is often necessary in pregnancy and lactation. Should be administered in recommended doses to avoid fetal hypercalcemia.

- One tablet once weekly for 6-8 weeks, then once monthly as maintenance. Or as directed by a physician.
- Best taken with a fatty meal for optimal absorption.

Well-tolerated at recommended doses. High doses may cause hypercalcemia, nausea, vomiting, polyuria, and weakness. Rarely, allergic skin reactions may occur.
