What is the dosage of Vitamin D3 for a 77 year old patient?

Asked by Female, 77 · 18 days ago

No. There is no standard dosage of Vitamin D3 for a 77‑year‑old; the regimen must be individualized based on vitamin D status, bone health, comorbidities, and therapeutic response, and should always be prescribed and monitored by a physician.

The appropriate dosage of Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol 60000 IU) oral solution for a senior citizen should be personalized by a doctor based on vitamin D levels and health status.

  • A common approach to treat deficiency is taking one 60000 IU dose once weekly for 6 to 8 weeks.
  • After this, a lower maintenance dose may be advised to keep levels stable.
  • Avoid self-medicating with high doses to prevent vitamin D toxicity.

Please consult a specialist such as an endocrinologist or geriatrician who can order blood tests (like serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D) and tailor the dosage safely. If you notice symptoms like nausea, vomiting, weakness, or frequent urination while on vitamin D, seek medical care promptly.
