Fosamax and Vitamin D

I take Fosamax with D once a week.  Common practice among physicians is apparently 800-1000 ius of Vitamin D a day for good health.  The single Fosamax pill has 5600 ius of D.  Will this one pill suffice for my D intake all week and is it all right to have it all at once instead of single pills every day?

Hello Dear,
You should continue with your vitaminD supplementation.
FOSAMAX PLUS D™ (alendronate sodium/cholecalciferol), a single, once-weekly tablet containing FOSAMAX® (alendronate sodium) 70 mg and 5,600 international units (IU) of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol).
It is a once-weekly medicine now contains both the well-documented fracture benefits of FOSAMAX as well as 5,600 IU of vitamin D3.
