D-Va Tablet

D-Va Tablet contains Cholecalciferol as its active ingredient. Cholecalciferol is a form of vitamin D, also known as vitamin D3. It is essential for maintaining proper calcium and phosphate levels in the body, which are crucial for bone health, muscle function, and overall well-being. D-Va Tablet is available in tablet form for convenient oral administration.

Uses:

1. Vitamin D Deficiency: D-Va Tablet is primarily used to treat and prevent vitamin D deficiency, which can occur due to inadequate dietary intake, limited sun exposure, certain medical conditions, or medications that interfere with vitamin D metabolism.
2. Bone Health: Adequate vitamin D levels are essential for maintaining strong and healthy bones, as it helps the body absorb calcium from the diet and promotes bone mineralization.

Side Effects:

D-Va Tablet is generally well-tolerated when taken as directed. However, excessive intake of vitamin D may lead to hypercalcemia (elevated calcium levels), which can cause symptoms such as:

• Confusion

Seek medical attention if any unusual symptoms occur, especially if they persist or worsen.

Precautions:

• Inform healthcare providers about any existing medical conditions, especially kidney disease, hyperparathyroidism, or sarcoidosis, as dosage adjustments may be necessary.
• Use caution in patients taking other medications or supplements that contain vitamin D, as excessive intake may increase the risk of toxicity.
• Monitor serum calcium levels regularly during treatment, especially in patients at risk of hypercalcemia.
