Hello, injectable are good but oral preparation are good, so you can take oral high dose weekly Vit D3, till your D3 levels cross 40, then we can put you on maintainance therapy. Also avoid taking Pan D.
Priscription and consultation can be done via practo.
Health Tips
titration of vit D dose is important.

Hi , I see that ur Vit B12 and D3 are very low ..taking injections for Vit B12 is always better..as oral supplements available in the market has very low dose which is not sufficient and takes longer time to recover ..
VIT D3 u can take as sachet , capsule and injection forms ..all are same ..
