Cholecalciferol vs calcitriol

Question

Asked for Male, 27 Years

Which is a better vitamin D for body? Is it cholecalciferol or is it Calcitriol? I have had Cholecalciferol 60K capsules weekly for 08 weeks and now I am having it once in a month. My doctor has also prescribed me Shelcal-CT for 1 month. So that's why I wanted to know whether u can take these two medicines together or should I take only Calcitriol with calcium. What is the difference between Calcitriol and cholecalciferol? Can Shelcal-CT be taken beyond 1 month? If yes, then for how many months will it be safe to take it?
