400 iu daily is maintenance dose. If deficiency is severe then higher dose is needed. Calcirol sachet can also be given.60000 iu weekly at least 4 wk.

THis dose of vitmain D is given is there is deficiency of vitamin D and signs suggestive of Rickets.
If you want to be 100% sure, better to get blood test (calcium, phosporus, ALP) and vitamin D level) done along with wrist X ray.
this much high dose can be given safely.. you can follow your doctor advice, he must have seen signs of rickets on examination.
