person-avatar

Asking for Self, Male, 29 years old, Karachi

1). Dear Doctors, yesterday I had an IM Vit D 600,000 IU Injection. I want to ask is it safe to have Caltrate 600 as per prescription (1 Tablet daily) alongwith the Centrum Tablet.

Would Caltrate be overdose in addition to Vit D Injection?

2. Is it safe to take Caltrate and Centrum at the same time or there should be some interval?

Usually dosages in multivitamins are according to daily requirement. so its betted to avoid overdosage although water soluble vitamins dnt stay and excreted in case of overdosage.

I dont know my GP prescribed me a daily tablet of Caltrate. He said since your Vit D is low, to build up fastly, you need to have injection. If you go for tablets it is gonna take a long time.
