Your Vitamin D level 20.92 nmol/L is quite low → consistent with Vitamin D Deficiency.

• Add:
– Magnesium supplement (after doctor advice)

• Check (if symptoms persist):
– Serum magnesium
– Repeat Vitamin D after 8–12 weeks

Your vitamin D is low, so the dose is correct.
Leg cramps after starting it are usually not due to vitamin D itself. More common causes are magnesium deficiency, dehydration, or muscle fatigue.
Drink enough fluids, consider magnesium-rich diet/supplement, and continue the medicine. If cramps persist or worsen, get electrolytes checked.
Please consult me for proper evaluation and treatment.

This is vitamin D deficiency under treatment, and cramps are likely due to electrolyte imbalance (especially magnesium deficiency) or sudden calcium metabolism changes after starting high-dose vitamin D.
Next Steps
-Continue Vitamin D (Depura 60K IU), once weekly, for 8–12 weeks
-Repeat Serum Calcium, Vitamin D after 4–6 weeks
Health Tips
-Stay well hydrated
-Do regular calf stretching exercises
-Include magnesium-rich foods (nuts, seeds, green leafy vegetables)
-Cramps usually settle in few days, do not stop vitamin D unnecessarily
contact me anytime on practo for further consultation
