CHOLECALCIFEROL...60000IU.

CHOLECALCIFEROL (VITAMIN D3) 60000IU (ORAL SOLUTION) - CHOLECALCIFEROL...60000IU is used as a dietary supplement in people who do not get enough vitamin D in their diet to maintain adequate health. Vitamin D is a fat-solving nutrient that helps your body with calcium and phosphorus. The right ratio of vitamin D, calcium, and phosphorus is essential for building and maintaining strong bones. Vitamin D is used to treat and prevent bone problems.

Vitamin D is made by the body when the skin is exposed to daylight. Sunscreen, protective clothing, limited exposure to daylight, and exposure to the brown and mature sun can prevent you from getting enough vitamin D. Vitamin D along with calcium is used to treat or prevent bone fractures. Vitamin D is used with various medications to treat low degrees of calcium or phosphate caused by specific problems. It may be used in kidney disease to keep calcium levels normal and to allow normal bone growth.
