Vitamin d raised to 79 in 2 months
My wife was having a vitamin d level of 14 before 2 months and since she was diagnosed vitamin d deficient doctor asked her to take 60000iu once a week for next 3 months. After 2 months we did the vitamin d test again just to see if the count has increased and it showed 79.
My question is should she continue the same dose for next 1 month as the actual prescription was for 3 months.
I am worried because it have reached 79 in months time from 14 and if she continue the same dose for another 1 month , will it go over 100 and become toxic?

The normal range of Vit D 3level is quite large. She is getting oral Vit D.3 She can safely take it for 12 weeks (total) and after that she should get her Vit D 3 level done after 3 months of the last dose. That will determine if she needs more Vit D3
