Depura 60K (cholecalciferol 60,000 international units per 5 ml) can be appropriate to treat confirmed vitamin D deficiency but should be used only after a doctor prescribes the dose and schedule based on blood tests.
⚕️ What this is
- Depura 60K contains cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) 60,000 international units (IU) per 5 ml oral solution.
- It is an oral preparation used to correct vitamin D deficiency and related bone conditions.
🩺 When it's appropriate
- Appropriate when a 25‑hydroxyvitamin D (25‑OH vitamin D) blood test shows deficiency and a clinician recommends high‑dose therapy.
- Not recommended as routine daily supplementation without testing or medical advice.
💊 How to take
- Follow your doctor’s prescription for dose and frequency; common regimens use a single 60,000 IU dose weekly or monthly for short courses, but this varies.
- Take with a fat-containing meal to improve absorption; product is oral (not an injection).
⚠️ Warnings
- Avoid if you have hypercalcemia, active kidney stones, or severe renal impairment; excess vitamin D can cause high calcium.
- Check for interactions (example: thiazide diuretics) and note the product may contain aspartame—caution in phenylketonuria.
- Stop and see a doctor if you develop persistent nausea, vomiting, severe constipation, weakness, or confusion.
🩺 Follow‑up
- Please see a doctor (general practitioner) or an endocrinologist for a baseline 25‑OH vitamin D test, calcium and kidney function tests, and a prescription.
- Have you had a recent 25‑OH vitamin D test or do you have kidney disease or current medications?
