I'm a 56-year-old woman recently diagnosed w/vitamin d deficiency of 16. my doctor prescribed a one-time vitamin d2 megadose of 300,000 units with a follow-up of 2,000 units of vitamin d3 daily. is that megadose safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it is safe. If you have any concern, you may take 5000 units vitamin D3 daily for 3 months and then reduce the dose to 2000 units/day.
