Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary, generally mild, and resolve upon suspending the use of App D3 Capsule 4. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any symptoms, notify your doctor.

Here are some general tips for alleviating some common side effects:

Increased thirst and urination: Make sure you drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. As these symptoms are also indicative of hypercalcemia, it is important to inform your doctor.
Constipation, nausea, and vomiting: Try taking the medicine with a meal to help reduce these gastrointestinal side effects.

App D3 Capsule 4 contains vitamin D3, also called cholecalciferol (2000 IU). Here's how it works:

Conversion to active form: Vitamin D3 is converted in the liver into 25-hydroxyvitamin D, which then undergoes further conversion in your kidneys into the active hormone 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, or calcitriol.
Enhances absorption: Calcitriol binds to receptors in your intestines and enhances the absorption of calcium and phosphorus.
Supports bone mineralisation: In your bones, calcitriol aids in producing the proteins necessary for bone mineralisation.
Regulates hormone secretion: Calcitriol also helps regulate the secretion of parathyroid hormone, which assists in maintaining calcium balance in your body.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking App D3 Capsule 4 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding women should exercise caution when using App D3 Capsule 4. Consult your doctor before starting this medicine.
