Hello greetings from Kolkata. I think he might have advised you a 6Lakh unit injection or a 60k capsule. Generally injections are available in 3 lakh or 6 lakh IU strength. Kindly consult your doctor once again regarding this. If there are some issues with your capsule digestion and absorption then injection is an alternative or in cases of severe vitamin d deficiency.

Next Steps

Kindly consult your doctor once again regarding this.
