Hi,
Since your doctors have studied your case in great detail before prescribing you treatment,so I will not like to comment on this without having details about test reports specially blood vitD levels,iPTH ,calcium & phosphorus levels.
Yes,vitD3 definitely has a potential for calcium deposition if not deficient or is in excess in the blood.
You should increase daily water intake to 3.5- 4litres .Also can start KCit 3tsf twice daily.
