Vitamin D maintenance dose
My wife was diagnosed with vitamin d deficiency in dec 2022. Her level was 14. After doctor consultation she was taking 60000 IU once a week for 3 months and in april 2023, her vitamin d level was 64.
Since then she have not taken any maintenance dose of vitamin D. She is a housewife and not used to getting enough sun exposure.
My query is can someone suggest a vitamin d tablet to be taken as a maintenance dose?
She have started experiencing the same issues again when she was vitamin d deficient. Does vitamin d level go down if maintenance dose was not taken. As i told its been 3 months now since she completed the 3 month course of 60000 IU per week.
