Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Besides the side effects of an injection, there are just one that specifically relate to IV vitamin D as opposed to oral vit D. The only reason why you would be receiving this IV is to guarantee that it gets into the system as you have been unable to attain normal levels despite prolong oral intake of this drug.

I hope you find this useful. I wish you well. Feel free to request for more information and ask ore questions should need be.
Thanks.
