I have very low vitamin d, i'll use vit d3 50, 000 iu (pharmacist recommends 1 tablet weekly for 8 weeks then 1 monthly). any side effects, warnings?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds good: Your doc and pharmacist are up to date on the latest dosage for vitamin d. What they recommend is what is used today. No side effects but get a follow up d level by your doc when you see him/her again.
