Good evening

Thank you for writing on health care magic

Well the levels of Vitamin D Are quite low. They can cause the pains you are having and it may get better with treatment. For Vitamin D, kindly start:

1. CApsule Uprise D 3 60 k(with water) or Calcirol XXXXXXX 60000 units( with Milk) once a week for 12 weeks and then maintain it once a month for a year at least. If you leave treatment after 3 months, the levels tend to fall again

2. Take Tablet Shelcal 500 mg once daily for 3 months and you can discontinue after that

You can repeat your tests after 4 months to see if the response has come.

I hope the information was useful

DO let me know for more queries
