investigations required.2000IU/day or 60000 IU/wee

Hi,
I went through the query and understood your concern.
First you should know whether your vitamin D, calcium and parathyroid hormone levels are normal. If any abnormalities then the treatment can be targeted to it.
The vit D3 can be taken 60000 IU once per week orally or 2000 IU per day with calcium supplementation till the calcium and vit D3 is restored.
I hope this information answered your question and helpful to you. Feel free to ask for any further queries. I will be glad to answer them.
Wish you good health.
