Vitamin D 50000 Iu

i just found out my vit d is very low and sarted sarting it today because that what the doctor put me on. and now i think i have uti but i have not syom of you uti exp pain in the belly. what should i ## Hello, Jen! How are you? This is a very high dose off Vitamin D and it may cause some side effects, including stomach pain. So, you may not necessarily have a UTI. You should consult your doctor to be sure. Is there anything else I can help with? ## If you think that you have a urinary tract infection, then go see your doctor. But it has nothing to do with the Vitamin D. You may want to read my page on Prescription Vitamin D, however, as that is not the recommended type of Vitamin D that people should be taking.

what are the side effects of this vitamin ## There are VERY VERY few side effects of Vitamin d. In most studies, researchers commented about the 'Incredible' lack of side effects of this vitamin- even at high doses. But everything DOES have side effects- even placebo's- so take a look at the page on Vitamin D Side Effects here: Most side effects are mild and easily managed. Sincerely, ## I am taking 50000 units of this vitamin D one time each week and the doctor is not checking it. I am on my 25th capsule and wonder when I can discontinue it. Thank you. Can I get too much of this? ## How much is 50000 units of Vitamin D? How many mg of iron is in Corvite? ## Hi Donna, 50,000 units of Vitamin D is 50,000 IU's of vitamin d. That is how it's measured, so I don't ha...

Hi! My doctor prescribed me to take it once a week but I misread it and have been taking it daily for the past 8 days :( . I'm also breasfeeding so now very worried what to do? Does anyone know any harmful side effects of this medications on daily basis? Thanks ## I'm not an expert but I have researched Vitamin D, as I am taking 50,000 IU every 2 weeks, was every week. I feel so much better. From what I have read, it should be alright. I would definitely check with my doctor to be absolutely sure. The doctor might have your levels retested. There is a lot of information on the medical websites about prescription Vitamin D. ## Too much vitamin D may cause elevations in the level of calcium in your body, which could be dangerous, if it goes too high or if you have certain medical ...

Need to now how save Vitamin D2 50,000 IU is. ## First off, Vitamin D2 is a synthetic form of vitamin D. Want you want is Vitamin D3 if you are choosing the route of supplements. I suppose you can say both are synthetic since they are man made, but D3 is as close as it gets to actually getting sunlight. Do you live in an environment that doesn't provide much sunlight? I live in Portland, Oregon at the moment so I completely understand the lack of sunshine. But if you are fortunate enough to have a sunny environment, take advantage of it for at least 30 minutes a day and toss the supplements. In the world of nutrition, too much isn't a good thing. I think most people would agree that 50,000 IU is about 48,000 IU TOO much! Normal supplements of D3 contain 1,000-2,000 IU. Did you m...

for Vitamin D3 50000 IU can be classified as medicine or as food supplement? for all vitamins is there is concentration or limits to consider the product medicine or food supplement? ## Hi Judy, I'm not sure what your question actually is. Vitamin D is not a 'medicine', but a vitamin supplement. If you are concerned about the DOSE, that is not anything to worry about, as you would need to take HUGE amounts before you would overdose. Please see my page on Vitamin D overdose here. What you might be more interested in, is that Prescription Vitamin D is NOT the correct form of Vitamin D to be taking, however. Vitamin D3, the kind that you can get over the counter at any health food store, is the only vitamin d form that anyone should be taking.

My mom have a vitamin D deficiency. My auntie just bought a MX Vitamin D that contains 1000 IUs of vitamin D3 cholecalciferol. Is this okay for a particular people who have a vitamin D deficiency? My auntie told that it will replenish my mom's body stores and nourish bones and immune system. Is it okay to take?? ## My girlfriend was also diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency. In most cases, taking a vitamin D supplement will be beneficial, however 1000 IU is a pretty low dose (odds are that the effects of 1000 IU won't be felt). Depending on how severe the deficiency is, most doctors or nutritionists would recommend around 50,000 IU per week to reverse the deficiency. This can be easily achieved however if you get at least 15-30min of sunshine a day with the addition of the supple...

What is it use for Vitamin D 50000 IU green oval shape small liquid capule ## is vitamin D 50000 IU a prescription drug or over the counter? ## to increase bone density ## Yes, this is a vitamin supplement, Vitamin D is essential to the health of your body. Did you have any other questions? ## What are the side effects of this medecation? I just took my pill and had a bit of an hallucination. Are there any other things? ## Yes, this is Prescription Vitamin D. It's used to remedy vitamin d deficiency when given by your doctor in these high dosages. But actually, researchers do NOT recommend that you take prescription vitamin d, but instead simply take the same dosage of over the counter vitamin d in the form of vitamin d3 - also called Cholecalciferol. See the page on Prescription Vi...

Is there anyway to find this without a prescription? ## Yes, this is just a vitamin and can be found at any health food store, and even most drug stores over the counter, and it's actually preferable to the prescription form. Your doctor is not doing you any favors prescribing you the prescription form of this vitamin. Please see the page on Prescription Vitamin D to see why you actually are better off with the over the counter form anyway. You can simply purchase Vitamin D3 (emphasis on the '3') at any health food store. 50,000 IU's per week is equivalent to approximately 7000 IU's per day. So just get an over the counter dosage that is the equivalent of 7000 IU's per day and take it daily instead of weekly. There is no downside to this, it's actually prefer...

Hi, I have been taking Vitamin D 50,000 IU because my doctor found that I was having a pretty bad Vitamin D deficiency, but now my gastroenterologist gave me a prescription for Linzess. I'm not sure if I can take Linzess and my Vitamin D together? ## I didn't find any problems or interactions listed, but it is always best to double check to be sure. The worst issue I can find is that the vitamin D can sometimes cause constipation, according to FDA reports, so they can be kind of contradictory. How is the Linzess working for you?

Is it safe for me to take daily , my doctor wants me to take it for 4 months ## In my opinion 50,000 a day (from dietary supplements) is way too much. My girlfriend was diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency also as she lives in rainy Portland, Oregon. Her doctor suggested 50,000 IU per "week" for a certain number of weeks in order to reverse her deficiency. I know everyone is different, but 50,000 a day seems like a long shot from supplements alone and should probably be tapered down to a normal dose range after the 4 month period is up so it doesn't become toxic in your system (as Vitamin D2 is synthetic). I personally take 5,000 IU of Vitamin D3 per 'day' as that is what I've read in many health magazines to be a healthy dose. If you are able to, I would strongly...

i was perscribed 50,000 iu of iron one day a week pill. How much is this in mg? The perscription is for 5 months. ## Hi Faye, I find that really odd that your doctor said 50,000 IU, as Iron is not measured in international units, but rather milligrams or mcg. Generally, international units are used to measure "vitamins" such as A, C, E, D, etc...and not used for "minerals" such as iron. 1 IU vitamin A = 0.3 mcg (micrograms) 1 IU vitamin D = 0.025 mcg 1 IU vitamin E = 0.7 mcg as d-alpha tocopherol The translation from IU to micograms or milligrams is different for every vitamin; and as far as I know there is no converting measurement for Iron to go from mcg or mg to IU; or vise versa. Does anyone else have any information to share regarding this?

small pink round tablet one face has nothing on it & the other face divided into two parts one has gx on it & the other part has cn3 on it ## I just recieved my supposedly vitamin d 50,000 IU prescribsion, but instead of the green oval gel capsules, I recieved a reddish brown tablet that had nothing on one side and on the other side it had a GX on the top and CM3 on the bottom. The pharmacist said it was an old version of vitamin d that they never switched out but I have no clue if this statement was true! I was just wondering if he was telling the truth, and if not then what the heck was I given? Please help ## I know you probably don't care anymore, but its Malarone, a drug used to prevent and cure malaria.
