Vit D Deficiency
I got tested in September and vit D levels were 7.5 ng/mol. Took 60k IU pills weekly for 8 weeks then stopped.
Didn't take any pills for next 2 months.
Got tested again in Jan end. Level were 30.5 ng/mol.
Took one pill on 1st Feb and another on 14th feb, both 60k IU
I read only it should be monthly after 8 weeks of weekly dosage.
Since I took two this month, is dosage fine and safe?

Hi
It is very important to follow medical instructions while taking medications.
Since the level has reached 30 no/ dl there was no necessity to have taken extra medication right now.
Now pls do not continue the medication for the next 2 to 3 months after which you could take 1 every month.
