For hypovitaminosis D, I would suggest : 1. Injection Arachitol(6 Lacs units) stat intramuscularly. 2. Cap Dsol 60k weekly once for 8 weeks. 3. Cold liver oil capsules once daily(non veg) Check vitamin D levels  after 1month. You can take Cap Evion (vit E) along for 1 month.

Since it is at very low side you can start D3 preparation available in market containing 60,000 units weekly along with calcium tablets you are taking currently. It better to consult your physician
