hi, my doctor had prescribed me uprise-D3 60k for once a day for 3 days straight and then once a week for 12 weeks...but I accidentally took a pill every day for 8 days straight (so 5 days extra).. am I at risk?

Have a query?

Taking Uprise-D3 60K (cholecalciferol 60,000 IU) daily for 8 days instead of the prescribed 3 days, followed by once a week, may increase the risk of mild side effects such as elevated calcium levels, nausea, or constipation, but serious toxicity is unlikely with this short duration.
Excessive vitamin D intake over a short period can raise blood calcium, causing symptoms like nausea, vomiting, constipation, or increased urination. Since your overdose lasted for 5 extra days, mild side effects might occur, but severe vitamin D toxicity typically requires prolonged very high doses.
If you notice these, seek medical evaluation promptly.
Consult your endocrinologist or the prescribing doctor soon to discuss your situation and possibly get monitoring to avoid complications. If any severe symptoms develop, seek urgent care.
