About Level-D3 60K Softgel Cap

Level-D3 60K Softgel Cap belongs to the class of 'Vitamins', primarily used to treat low blood calcium levels. Level-D3 60K Softgel Cap effectively treats various conditions in the body like Vitamin D deficiency, osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), hypoparathyroidism (parathyroid glands make low levels of calcium in the body), latent tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels) 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.

Level-D3 60K Softgel Cap contains 'Cholecalciferol' a form of vitamin-D. It acts by promoting the absorption of calcium, phosphates and Vitamin A from different organs and helps in maintaining overall health.

Take Level-D3 60K Softgel Cap as advised. Your physician will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. Level-D3 60K Softgel Cap is likely safe to consume. In some cases, it may cause side effects like constipation, increased blood calcium levels, increased calcium levels in urine, vomiting, nausea. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist, please consult your physician immediately.
