It is the required dose of Vit D3. You should get your Vit D3 level done after 3 months.
It can't cause overdosing of Vit D3

Vitamin D is fat soluble vitamin and can accumulate inside body if taken continuously without monitoring vit D level.
So, 60 K capsule weekly is the standard dose.
But check vitamin D level after 12 weeks then decide to continue or not
