Patient information

Particular caution is required in certain lung diseases (sarcoidosis) as increased conversion of vitamin D into its active form may occur.Blood and urine calcium levels should be monitored.During long-term treatment, serum calcium levels must be monitored and renal function monitored.This is particularly important in older patients who are taking cardiac glycosides or diuretics.Additional intake of other vitamin D-containing preparations should only be taken under close medical supervision.In case of kidney dysfunction, vitamin D should be used carefully while monitoring calcium and phosphate levels.The medicine can be harmful to your teeth.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

During pregnancy, the daily intake should not exceed 1500 mg calcium and 600 IE vitamin D3.Overdoses of vitamin D must be avoided because persistently elevated blood calcium levels can be harmful to the developing fetus.Calcium and vitamin D3 pass into breast milk, which should be taken into account when giving additional vitamin D3 to the child.

Notes

For information about risks and side effects, read the package leaflet and ask your doctor or pharmacy.

Other

If you have kidney failure, your doctor should check your calcium and phosphate balance.The amount of vitamin D taken should be taken into account when using other vitamin D medications.Since the medicine already contains vitamin D, additional use of vitamin D or calcium may only be carried out under strict medical supervision.In this case, blood and urine calcium levels should be checked weekly.
