How Safe Is Taking 6 Lakh Unit Of Arachitol For Vitamin Deficiency?
I am a female,age 31. recently during a blood test I came to know that I have got vitamin D deficiency. My count is 4, where the normal range given is 3-100 . I have been advised to take arachitol injection 1 /wk for 6 weeks, 6 lacs units. My query is, Will this 6 lacs units lead to vitamin d overdose?
Hello, You are highly deficient in VIT D. A person should have level of 50 of VIT D. The dose of arachitol as 6 lacs unit every week for 6 weeks is perfectly all right and wont result in VIT D toxicity. Thanks
