Contraindicated in hypercalcaemia, hypervitaminosis D, and nephrolithiasis associated with hypercalciuria. Use with caution in renal impairment.

How it works
Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) is hydroxylated in the liver to 25-hydroxyvitamin D, then in the kidney to the active metabolite calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3). Calcitriol binds nuclear vitamin D receptors, promoting intestinal calcium and phosphate absorption and regulating bone metabolism. 10 mcg equals 400 IU.
Storage
Store below 25°C, away from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
