Indications:
D-Cap 20,000 IU is indicated for:

Treatment and prevention of vitamin D3 deficiency.
Adjunct to specific therapy for osteoporosis, osteomalacia, hypocalcemia, tetany, and rickets in patients with vitamin D3 deficiency.

Pharmacology:
Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) is a fat-soluble vitamin that, after absorption in the small intestine, is converted in the liver to 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (calcidiol), and then in the kidneys to the active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol). Calcitriol binds to vitamin D receptors in various tissues, promoting calcium and phosphate absorption, and maintaining bone health.

- Treatment of Vitamin D3 deficiency: 40,000 IU once weekly for 7 weeks.
- Maintenance therapy: 1,400–2,000 IU daily.

Children (12–18 years):
- Treatment of Vitamin D3 deficiency: 20,000 IU once every 2 weeks for 6 weeks.
- Prevention of deficiency: 20,000 IU every 6 weeks.

Interaction:
Cholecalciferol may interact with:

Anticonvulsants: Such as phenytoin and phenobarbital, which can reduce vitamin D effectiveness.

Thiazide diuretics: Can increase the risk of hypercalcemia when taken with vitamin D.
