Can I give D-Rise XXXXXXX 1gm (entire sachet) on a single day once in a week for 6 weeks (say i give one XXXXXXX on thursday of this week the next one will be on next thurday of coming week) for 6 consecutives week .
My doctor has recommended so for my son.

Answered by Dr. Diptanshu Das (55 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
In established Vitamin D deficiency, one whole XXXXXXX weekly is right

Detailed Answer:
Thanks again for writing back.

D-Rise one full XXXXXXX (60,000 Units) on weekly basis for 4 weeks would be right to be given if your child has established Vitamin D deficiency. Otherwise the maintenance dose should be given in form of drops like Arbivit-3 or Calshine-P 1 ml (400 Units) daily.
