What Are The Side Effects Of Califerol?
Hi Doctor, I had my last period on July 1st. I recently took a course of Califerol (sp?) Vit D as prescribed by my GP. To date I have not had my period? I am currently not sexually active, so pregnacy is not the question. Please advise if the course of Vit D could affect my cycle. Thanking you in advance.

Hi,
Calciferol is a brand name for a medication that contains vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 is an essential nutrient that plays a role in bone health and overall immune system function. It is generally well-tolerated, but like any medication, it can have side effects. Some possible side effects of taking Califerol or other vitamin D3 supplements include nausea and vomiting, constipation or diarrhea, loss of appetite, headache, dry mouth, metallic taste in the mouth, dizziness, fatigue, rash or itching.
It is unlikely that Califerol would directly affect your menstrual cycle. However, it is possible that any changes in your diet, exercise routine, or stress levels associated with taking the medication could indirectly impact your menstrual cycle. If you are concerned about the timing of your period, it is always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
