Vitamin D
I have a prescription for Vitamin D, VIT D2, 1.25 MG , 50,000 units capsulsan, I was to take one a week but misread the directions and took 1 a day for 3 days. Do I need to go for medical help or will I be ok do you think?
Nevertheless, 50,000 once a week is the general dose provided to non-compliant patients who cannot remember to take several pills every day. Note that the 50,000 was "once a week". A more appropriate dose would be daily. A "non-compliant" patient is not necessarily a "bad" person. They may in fact have a busy lifestyle, such as being a fireman or policeman, and the physician simply decides that to bring their D levels up to speed, a once a week protocol is better. Literature suggests that daily dosing at smaller levels is preferable, all other things being equal.
I was on 50,000 IU once a week for a month and it had nothing to do with being "noncompliant" but because my Vitamin D level was seriously low.
You don't need to go to anyone for medical help, but try to read the instructions more carefully. Over a longer term such a misunderstanding could cause problems. Usually the 50,000 unit dose is "once a week" for non-compliant patients who don't remember to take their pills.
