Best cure for vitimin d diffishency?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vit D replacement: Depending on severity of deficiency, you may need prescription grade high dose (50,000 units) weekly replacement for 8-12 weeks followed by maintenance OTC supplement of 2-5,000 units/day. I notice you are on mesalamine which suggest underlying GI problem that may make vitamin D absorption difficult thus continual supplementation is needed. Levels should be routinely monitored
