60,000 IU/dose once a week for 6 weeks Check the strength of your syrup Yes pregnant ladies can take it in first trimester, but one should test vitamin d levels before taking medication to decide duration of medication

Yes can take.. All pregnant women should take a 10 microgram (or 400 IU) supplement of vitamin D each day. This will give your baby enough vitamin d for the first few months of life. This guidance is strongly recommended through autumn and winter and advised in spring and summer.
