Calcium 500mg & Calcitriol 0.25mcg Dose

2023-07-09 12:07:37
I have severe Vitamin D deficiency. My vitamin D value is 7.7nmg. The pharmacist recommended ' Calcium 500mg and Calcitriol 0.25mcg' as a vitamin D supplement. He advised me to take 1 tablet a day. But I didn't tell him my Vitamin D test value. So I am confused about the correct dose of this tablet as I have severe vitamin D deficiency. What will the correct number of tablets be taken in a day. And for how long (months) should I continue this ?
