D3 5000 IU 125mcg

Posted by johns621 @johns621, Jul 31 10:23am

Was prescribed vitamin d (ergocalcife) 1.25 mg caps , 1 every 7 days.
Prescription ran out so I purchased vitamin d3 5000iu (125mcg).
I want to take the d3 once a week.
Any thoughts?

I take that much a day. I don’t know what you are trying to treat or are you just low in vitamin d?

Your dose should be fine if you are not deficient.
Do you consume dairy and have some sun exposure?

Have read that D3 5000 IU 125mcg may be too much. Like I said, I ran out of the prescribed vitamin d. I have a Dr's appointment the end of the month and we'll see what he says.
