This medication should not be used by individuals with hypercalcemia or hypercalciuria. Additionally, patients with galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take this medication. Those with kidney stones or allergies to this medication or its ingredients should avoid use, and infants under 3 months of age should not use this medication. Taking this medication with thiazide diuretics may dangerously elevate calcium levels in the blood, so they should not be taken together. Infants under 1 year old, patients undergoing treatment from a doctor, those with a history of kidney stones, or patients with sarcoidosis should consult with a doctor or pharmacist before use. Children who receive ample sunlight and maintain a normal diet should avoid vitamin D or calcium supplements. Pregnant women need to be cautious as excessive use may cause deformities in the fetus, while nursing mothers should be aware that the ingredients can transfer to breast milk and may lead to hypercalcemia in newborns. Patients with impaired kidney function or those taking other vitamin D preparations, as well as those on specific medications (such as phenytoin, barbiturates, glucocorticoids, or thiazide diuretics), should consult a healthcare provider before use. This medication contains Yellow No. 5; those allergic to this component should be cautious. If symptoms such as mental confusion, altered consciousness, headache, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, weight loss, increased urination, or increased thirst occur during treatment, discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor or pharmacist. Significantly elevated calcium levels can cause serious issues such as cardiac arrhythmias, kidney stones, muscle pain, joint pain, and calcification of surrounding tissues. If a daily dose exceeds 500 IU, regular monitoring of calcium levels in blood and urine as well as kidney function is necessary, and dosage adjustments may be required. When tablets are difficult for infants or young children to swallow, it is advisable to dissolve the medication in water and administer it with food. Store this medication out of reach of children, in the original container to maintain quality, and protect it from direct sunlight in a cool, dry place.
