Can I substitute Calcirol Sachet with Ostium K2 Tablet, and if so, what dosage should I take?
Asked by Male, 35 · 1 month ago
Ostium K2 tablets and calcirol sachets, which contain vitamin D3 and K2, respectively, are not direct alternatives. Ostium K2 should not be used in place of calcium unless your physician recommends the appropriate dosage and combination depending on your blood levels.
