Your physician: There are a variety of conditions for which Vit D supplements are recommended, from simple deficiency to osteoporosis prevention. You should understand clearly from your treating physician what is the condition being addressed. The dose prescribed by the pharmacist appear to be in a weekly/ monthly range as opposed to the dose prescribed by your doc.
