This medication contains vitamin D, so the total intake of vitamin D should be carefully considered when taken with vitamin D-fortified foods or other vitamin D preparations. Regular checks of calcium levels in the blood are necessary, and treatment should be stopped if serum calcium levels exceed 10.5mg/dL or if urine calcium levels exceed a certain threshold. If calcium intake is high, it's important to frequently monitor calcium levels in both the blood and urine to ensure there are no abnormalities. The glass container of the injection may have glass fragments when broken, so it should be handled very carefully, especially when used with children or the elderly.
