✔️ Generally well tolerated, but some side effects may include:
- Hypercalcaemia (excessive calcium) or calcium intoxication.
- Acute symptoms of hypercalcemia: Anorexia, headache, dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or constipation.
✔️ Colecalciferol should not be used in:
- Patients with hypercalcemia (high blood calcium levels).
- Those with known hypersensitivity to Colecalciferol or related medications.
- Vitamin D toxicity.
✔️ Mode of Action:
Colecalciferol is a fat-soluble sterol essential for calcium and phosphate homeostasis, as well as bone mineralization. It enhances calcium absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and stimulates bone formation, promoting overall bone health.
✔️ Interactions
- Increased risk of hypercalcaemia when used with thiazide diuretics, calcium, or phosphate.
- Antiepileptic medications (e.g., carbamazepine, phenobarbitone, phenytoin, primidone) may require higher doses of vitamin D.
- Rifampicin and isoniazid may reduce vitamin D efficacy.
- Corticosteroids may counteract Vitamin D effects.
- Digoxin or any cardiac glycosides may have interactions.
- Reduced absorption when taken with cholestyramine, colestipol, mineral oil, or orlistat
✔️ Use with caution in individuals with:
- High blood calcium or phosphorus levels.
- Heart problems.
- Kidney disease.
- Ensure adequate intake of calcium and magnesium alongside Vitamin D.
- Lactation: Vitamin D is distributed into breast milk; use cautiously during breastfeeding.
