Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
You can any vitamin D preparation of good company available in nearby pharmacy. Minor difference in strength do not cause any problem for vitamin D supplementation.
You can try following medicines: Vibrania-D (USV pharma), Rejunex OD (Sun Pharma). Or Biocetal sachet for once in a week use.
There is also need to monitor vitamin D level in blood, to prevent overuse of such preparation.
Wish you good health and all the best.
