Why did my doctor put me on vitamin d2?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low levels?: You may want to ask the doctor who prescribed the vitamin, but i usually prescribe vit d when a patients blood levels are below the low end of the normal range. Low vit d levels are common in some parts of the country and in some people who don't get a lot of sun. We are getting better at preventing skin cancer, but we may have to supplement d in exchange.
