BENEFITS:
- Bone Health: Supports the maintenance and development of strong bones and teeth by aiding calcium absorption.
- Vitamin D Deficiency: Effectively treats and prevents vitamin D deficiency, especially in individuals with limited sun exposure or dietary intake.
- Immune Support: Enhances immune function and helps reduce the risk of chronic diseases associated with vitamin D deficiency.
HOW IT WORKS:
- Cholecalciferol, also known as vitamin D3, is a fat-soluble vitamin that is converted in the liver and kidneys to its active form, calcitriol.
- Calcitriol enhances calcium and phosphate absorption from the intestine, promoting bone mineralization and maintaining proper calcium levels in the blood.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
- Administer the injection intramuscularly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
- The dosage and frequency will be determined by your doctor based on your specific medical condition and response to treatment.

SIDE EFFECTS:
- Common: Pain at the injection site, nausea, and mild gastrointestinal discomfort.
- Serious: High calcium levels (hypercalcemia) leading to symptoms like weakness, fatigue, headache, dry mouth, metallic taste, and irregular heartbeats.
Consult your doctor if side effects persist or worsen.
WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS:
- Contraindications: Do not use if you are allergic to cholecalciferol or any components of the injection. Avoid use in patients with hypercalcemia, severe renal impairment, or vitamin D toxicity.
