About Mega D3 Injection

Mega D3 Injection belongs to the class of 'Vitamins', used to regulate calcium and phosphate metabolism. Mega D3 Injection effectively treats various conditions in the body like Vitamin D deficiency, osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), and rickets or osteomalacia (softening or deforming of bones due to lack of calcium). Vitamin D deficiency occurs when your body has low Vitamin D levels and is caused due to inadequate nutrition, intestinal malabsorption or lack of sunlight exposure.

Mega D3 Injection contains Vitamin-D3 (Cholecalciferol), a fat-soluble vitamin. It helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and the mineralization of bone. It is used to treat and prevent bone disorders, such as rickets and osteomalacia. It aids in calcium absorption enabling bone growth and repair. It further prevents cartilage degeneration. Mega D3 Injection is also used to maintain a healthy immune system.

However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
