Composition

Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) (400 Iu)

Al D3 400 IU Drops 30 ML are primarily used to prevent and manage vitamin D deficiency in children. This oral solution belongs to the class of nutritional supplements.

In addition to combating vitamin D deficiency, the drops are also used in the management of certain conditions such as rickets (a bone-weakening disorder due to Vitamin D deficiency), hypoparathyroidism and pseudohypoparathyroidism, as well as familial hypophosphatemia (a rare inherited disorder that leads to low phosphate levels).

Before you give these drops to your child, it's crucial to consult your doctor who will guide you on the appropriate dosage and frequency. It's equally important to inform the doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications your child may have. If you notice any side effects while your child is on this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. Ensure you continue giving the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Al D3 400 IU Drops 30 ML are used for your child in the following conditions:

Helping to manage vitamin D deficiency
Assisting in preventing rickets, a bone disorder due to vitamin D deficiency
Supporting children with inadequate sun exposure or dietary vitamin D intake
Supporting the treatment of pseudohypoparathyroidism, a similar condition where the body doesn't respond well to parathyroid hormone
Aiding in managing familial hypophosphatemia, a rare inherited disorder that affects how the body processes phosphorus.

Side Effects of Al D3 400 IU Drops 30 ML

When given to your child, Al D3 400 IU Drops 30 ML can potentially cause the following common side effects:

Hypercalcemia: This condition occurs when the levels of calcium in your child's blood are above normal, leading to symptoms like nausea and constipation.
Vomiting

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which are resolved by discontinuing the use of Al D3 400 IU Drops 30 ML. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general suggestions for managing common side effects:

Hypercalcemia: If your child is experiencing nausea or constipation due to high blood calcium levels, giving them plenty of water and fibre-rich foods might help.
Vomiting: If vomiting occurs after administering Al D3 400 IU Drops 30 ML, try giving it to your child with a meal to reduce this effect.

Al D3 400 IU Drops 30 ML contain cholecalciferol (400 IU), which affects your child's body in the following ways:

Conversion to Calcitriol: Cholecalciferol is metamorphosed in the liver and kidneys into calcitriol, an active form of vitamin D.
Increases Calcium Absorption: Calcitriol acts on the intestines, prompting them to absorb more calcium.
Releases Calcium from Bones: This active form of vitamin D works on bones, stimulating them to release calcium into the bloodstream.
Prevents Calcium Loss: Calcitriol also acts on the kidneys, helping them reabsorb calcium that would otherwise be excreted.
