Oral: 50,000 units, once weekly (or equivalent dose administered once daily) for 6 to 12 weeks, then recheck 25(OH)D level; may repeat high-dose therapy if needed to achieve target 25(OH)D level. -Low-dose therapy: May be preferred in patients with a serum 25(OH)D level 12 to <20 ng/mL (30 to <50 nmol/L). Oral: 800 to 1,000 units (20 to 25 mcg) once daily for ~3 to 4 months; may adjust dose if needed every 3 to 4 months based on 25(OH)D level. -Maintenance dosing: Oral: Once target 25(OH)D level is achieved, continue at a maintenance dose of 600 to 2,000 units (15 to 50 mcg) once daily. -Osteoporosis, prevention: Adults ≥50 years of age: Oral: 800 to 1,000 units/day (20 to 25 mcg/day) is recommended. -Vitamin D deficiency prevention:Breastfed infants (fully or partially): Oral: 400 units (10 mcg) daily beginning in the first few days of life.

Side Effects

-do not use if you have hypercalcemia, primary hyperparathyroidism, sarcoidosis, hypervitaminosis D, Williams syndrome, or are pregnant. -Documentation of allergenic cross-reactivity for vitamin D is limited. However, because of similarities in chemical structure and/or pharmacologic actions, the possibility of cross-sensitivity cannot be ruled out with certainty.

Drug Interactions

-Multivitamins/Fluoride (with ADE): May enhance the adverse/toxic effect of Vitamin D Analogs. -Orlistat: May decrease the serum concentration of Vitamin D Analogs. More specifically, orlistat may impair absorption of Vitamin D Analogs. -Mineral Oil: May decrease the serum concentration of Vitamin D Analogs. More specifically, mineral oil may interfere with the absorption of Vitamin D Analogs. -Bile Acid Sequestrants: May decrease the serum concentration of Vitamin D Analogs. More specifically, bile acid sequestrants may impair absorption of Vitamin D Analogs. Management: Avoid concomitant administration of vitamin D analogs and bile acid sequestrants (eg, cholestyramine). -Aluminum Hydroxide: Vitamin D Analogs may increase the serum concentration of Aluminum Hydroxide. Specifically, the absorption of aluminum may be increased, leading to increased serum aluminum concentrations. Management: Consider avoiding chronic use of aluminum and aluminum-containing products in patients who are also taking vitamin D analogs.

Pregnancy & Lactation

-Adequate maternal vitamin D is required for fetal growth and development . -Vitamin D deficiency in a pregnant woman may lead to a vitamin D deficiency in the neonate.Serum 25(OH)D concentrations should be measured in pregnant women considered to be at increased risk of deficiency. The amount of vitamin D contained in prenatal vitamins may not be adequate to treat a deficiency during pregnancy; although larger doses may be needed, current guidelines recommend a total of 1,000 to 2,000 units/day. -Vitamin D is present in breast milk following normal maternal exposure via sunlight and diet.
