Vitamin D deficiency can cause bone pain, muscle weakness, fatigue, recurrent infections, hair loss, delayed wound healing, reduced immune function, and mood changes. In children, it may lead to rickets; in adults, to osteomalacia, in which bones become soft and painful. Symptoms may be subtle; therefore, a serum 25‑hydroxyvitamin D measurement is required to confirm deficiency. Treatment includes safe sun exposure, dietary changes, and supplementation under medical supervision.

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.
My doctor has asked me to take Vitamin D3 60000 IU capsules. Is this capsule safe to take?
Dr S Aneela
M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD
Yes, Vitamin D3 60000 IU capsules are safe to take if recommended by your doctor to treat a deficiency. This high-dose supplement is usually taken weekly or monthly, preferably with a high-fat meal to improve absorption, or as directed. Do not take it without medical supervision, especially if you have kidney problems or high calcium levels. If you have any concerns or underlying health conditions, please consult your doctor or an endocrinologist for personalised advice.
I have vitamin D and B12 deficiencies. I am experiencing hair fall, hair thinning, and tiredness. I also work night shifts. Could you please suggest supplements, especially for hair and skin health?
Dr S Aneela
M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD
Since you have vitamin D and B12 deficiencies, taking vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and B12 (methylcobalamin) supplements as advised by your doctor can help improve energy, support hair growth, and maintain healthy skin. A multivitamin with biotin, zinc, and iron may further strengthen hair and enhance skin health, but should be taken under medical supervision. Night shifts can affect sleep and overall well-being, so focus on maintaining good sleep hygiene and balanced nutrition. Please consult your doctor for a personalized treatment plan.
