Yes, safe: You have low levels, your doc is trying to bring you up to normal range. This is the "normal dosage" usually prescribed for low levels.

D2 NOT safe! Use D3!: A meta-analysis by the Cochrane Collaboration shows Vit D3 significantly reduces all-cause mortality, while D2 does not reduce mortality and may slightly increase it! I can think of NO good reason for any Dr. to prescribe D2. I advise taking D3 10,000 iu/day x 1 month, then 5000 iu/day (and monitor levels). Please tell your Dr. that D2 is not safe or effective.
