What it is used for
Colecalciferol is used to prevent and treat vitamin D deficiency, which is common in people who spend little time in the sun or cover most of their skin outdoors. It is used to treat rickets in children and soft, weak bones (osteomalacia) in adults. Doctors also give it alongside calcium to help protect the bones in people with, or at risk of, osteoporosis.
How it works
Vitamin D3 is changed by the liver and kidneys into its active form, which helps the gut absorb calcium and phosphate from food. The body needs these minerals to build and keep strong bones and teeth.

Important safety information
Common side effects
Most people have no side effects when vitamin D3 is taken as advised. Taking too much over a long time can raise the calcium level in the blood, which may cause nausea, constipation, loss of appetite, thirst and passing more urine than usual.
Talk to a doctor or pharmacist first
- People with kidney disease or a history of kidney stones
- Anyone who has had a high calcium level in the blood, or a condition such as sarcoidosis
- People taking thiazide water tablets or digoxin, or medicines for epilepsy
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women, especially before using a high-strength product
- Parents giving vitamin D drops or liquid to a baby or child
- Anyone already taking another supplement or multivitamin that contains vitamin D
Warnings
- Do not take more than your doctor or the label advises. High-strength products are meant to be used under a doctor's supervision.
- Seek medical help if you develop severe thirst, passing a lot of urine, vomiting, confusion or unusual tiredness, as these can be signs of too much calcium.
- Check the labels of calcium tablets and multivitamins so that you do not take extra vitamin D without knowing.
Questions people ask
Can I get enough vitamin D from sunlight in Bangladesh?
Sunlight on the skin helps the body make vitamin D, but many people still have low levels because they stay indoors, cover their skin or have darker skin. A blood test can show your level, and your doctor can advise whether you need a supplement.
Should vitamin D3 be taken with food?
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, so taking it with a meal that contains some fat may help the body absorb it. Follow the directions from your doctor or pharmacist.
Why is vitamin D often given with calcium?
Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, and both are needed for strong bones. For this reason doctors often prescribe them together, for example in osteoporosis or for older adults.
