You have been prescribed Decalcid 0.25mcg Tablet to improve the level of vitamin D in your blood.

Q. What happens if vitamin D is low?

Vitamin D is essential for strong bones because it helps the body use calcium from the diet. A low level of vitamin D causes weak bones, bone pain, and muscle weakness. It can also lead to various bone disorders like osteoporosis and fractures (broken bones).

Question 3

Q. How do you test for vitamin D?

Accepted Answer

The 25-hydroxy vitamin D test is the most accurate way to measure how much vitamin D is in your body. A health care professional will take a blood sample from a vein in your arm, using a small needle. The sample is then sent to a laboratory to determine if you have too much or too little vitamin D in your blood.

The normal range of vitamin D is measured as nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). It can be anywhere between 20-50ng/mL.

Accepted Answer

Yes, excess vitamin D in the blood (known as vitamin D toxicity) can be harmful. Signs of toxicity include nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, constipation, weakness, and weight loss.

Too much vitamin D also raises the level of calcium in your blood (hypercalcemia) which  can cause confusion, disorientation, and problems with heart rhythm.

Accepted Answer

Some people who are at higher risk of vitamin D deficiency are breastfed infants because human milk is a poor source of vitamin D; older adults, because their skin does not make vitamin D when exposed to sunlight as efficiently as when they were young; and if you have hyperthyroidism, chronic kidney or liver disease.
