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.

⚕️ What This Likely Means

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.

⚠️ What to Watch For

  • Persistent nausea or vomiting
  • Muscle weakness or confusion
  • Excessive thirst or frequent urination

If you notice these, seek medical evaluation promptly.

🩺 Next Steps

  • Stop taking extra doses and follow the prescribed schedule going forward.
  • Inform your prescribing doctor about the accidental overdose.
  • Consider blood tests (calcium, vitamin D levels) as advised by your doctor to ensure safety.

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.
