Question 1

Is this good for health 60+ years old man.

Apollo Pharmacy · Accepted Answer

Uprise-D3 60K Softgel Capsule (Cholecalciferol) is generally safe for men over 60 when taken under a doctor’s supervision. It is often recommended to correct vitamin D deficiency and support bone and immune health in this age group. However, excessive or long-term use without monitoring may raise blood calcium levels and affect kidney function. Your doctor may advise blood tests to check your vitamin D and calcium levels, as well as kidney function, before and during treatment to ensure it is safe and effective. Always follow your doctor’s guidance to avoid potential side effects or interactions.

Question 2

Uprise-d3 60k how to start capsule from dose-1 or dose-12

Apollo Pharmacy · Accepted Answer

You should start with dose-1, which is usually at the top of the pack. Take the capsules in the numbered order as indicated on the blister strip to ensure correct weekly dosing.

Question 3

My reports show severe Vitamin D Deficiency (level 12). A doctor prescribed Uprise D3 weekly. Is this frequency appropriate? For how long should I continue, and are there risks of overdose?

Apollo Pharmacy · Accepted Answer

A vitamin D level of 12 is considered significantly low, so taking Uprise D3 once weekly is a common and appropriate treatment. This high-dose supplement is usually given for about 6-8 weeks, after which your doctor may switch you to a lower maintenance dose (like monthly or daily). Try to get some sunlight exposure and include calcium-rich foods in your diet. Also, recheck your vitamin D levels after the treatment course to guide further dosing.

Question 4

How many tablets per day

Apollo Pharmacy · Accepted Answer

Uprise-D3 60K Softgel Capsule, containing 60,000 IU of vitamin D3, is typically prescribed once weekly, usually for 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the severity of the deficiency and your doctor’s assessment. Due to its high potency, it should not be taken daily unless specifically directed to do so by a healthcare professional. Always follow your doctor’s instructions, and ensure periodic monitoring of your vitamin D and calcium levels to guide safe and effective use.

Question 5

Does vitamin D deficiency cause dark skin? What can I do about it?

Apollo Pharmacy · Accepted Answer

Vitamin D deficiency does not directly cause dark skin, but it can make your skin look dull or uneven. Please improve it by taking vitamin D supplements, eating vitamin D-rich foods (eggs, fish, fortified milk), and getting safe sunlight exposure.

Question 6

I by mistake took uprise d3 60k thrice a week for 2 month

Apollo Pharmacy · Accepted Answer

Taking Uprise-D3 60K Softgel capsules (cholecalciferol) three times a week for a prolonged period may lead to excess vitamin D levels, which can raise blood calcium levels (hypercalcaemia) and, in rare cases, increase the risk of kidney stones and kidney damage. However, this does not always lead to harm, and the actual risk depends on your total intake, duration, and individual health. It is advisable to stop the extra doses and get blood tests for calcium, vitamin D, and kidney function to be safe. Please consult your doctor for proper evaluation and advice, especially if you notice symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or changes in urine.
