Hello,
Just wondering if anyone has had these same symptoms when taking Vitamin D Ergo 50,000 prescription. My Dr has put me on this once a week for 3 months due to my deficiency, my labs came back showing my levels at 12 which is low. So I started taking the pill once a week and after two weeks I noticed my throat started to hurt. It would hurt to swallow anything cold and I felt like my throat was clogged sometimes after I ate. It was painful at times, so i tried to see if this was a symptom and the Doctor said I shouldn't have any symptoms but when I stopped taking them I noticed the throat problem went away and it's been 3 weeks since I took the last pill. I need to get my vitamin D up but I'm scared to start taking that pill again. I ordered some Jarrows Vitamin D from amazon to try, and I'm hoping that will work. |

D2 ergocalciferol does not work. Don't waste your time on it.
Buy OTC D3, which is very inexpensive and take daily instead. A rough estimate is 1000IU D3 for every 10 pts you need to raise, from your testing results. Your lowest goal should be about 50. Some reading for you: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread92116.html There are many articles now on the net published by medical journals etc explaining the move away from D2 ergo to OTC D3 cholecalciferol, and here is one example: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/237943.php There are also topical creams now, to avoid oral completely. Search Amazon to find them, or iherb.com

I take Ostelin D3 1000iu a day and within a month my Vitamin D level increased from severely deficient to moderately deficient. I was a bit disappointed and thought it should be higher but my GP said that Vit D is always hard to increase and just takes time. On prescription it cost me $5.90 without prescription it's $39.00
I was told that within another month it should be in normal range. I've never had any side effects from the tablet whatsoever. Oh, I forgot, my calcium level was below normal and it's now in the normal range. Shows what an important vitamin that D really is! |

It definitely says D3 on the bottle and was prescribed by a specialist Physician.
Cholecalciferol. Last edited by Myelogirl; 11-11-2013 at 10:39 PM. Reason: Forgot to add pharmaceutical name. |
