Provit D3 (8000IU) 10ml Drop

Cholecalciferol, also known as vitamin D3, primarily works by aiding in the absorption and metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in the body. When administered, cholecalciferol is converted in the liver and kidneys to form the active hormone calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3). Calcitriol binds to specific vitamin D receptors (VDRs) found in various tissues, including the intestines, bones, and kidneys. This binding triggers a cascade of cellular responses, including increasing the expression of calcium transport proteins in the gut, allowing for enhanced absorption of dietary calcium. In addition, cholecalciferol promotes bone health by stimulating osteoblasts to produce new bone matrix and aiding in the mineralization of bone tissue. By regulating calcium and phosphorus levels, cholecalciferol helps maintain proper bone mineralization and overall skeletal health.

Following are the drug interactions for Cholecalciferol 800 IU Drop:

• Anticonvulsants like phenobarbital, phenytoin, or carbamazepine can reduce the effectiveness of cholecalciferol by increasing its metabolism.
• Cholestyramine and colestipol can decrease the absorption of vitamin D by binding to it in the intestine.
• Thiazide diuretics may increase the risk of hypercalcemia when used with cholecalciferol.
• Calcium-containing antacids or calcium supplements may lead to excessive calcium levels when taken with vitamin D.
• Orlistat, a weight-loss medication, can reduce the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin D.
• Ketoconazole, a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor, may increase cholecalciferol levels by inhibiting its metabolism.
• Mineral oil, when taken long-term, may decrease the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamin D.

Following are the food interactions for Cholecalciferol 800iu Drop:

• Avoid excessive consumption of foods rich in Vitamin D, such as fatty fish (salmon, mackerel), egg yolks, and fortified dairy products, as it may lead to Vitamin D toxicity.
• Maintain a balanced diet with adequate calcium and phosphorus, as these minerals work synergistically with Vitamin D for optimal bone health.
• Avoid excessive intake of calcium supplements, as Vitamin D aids in calcium absorption, and an imbalance can lead to hypercalcemia.
• Limit the intake of foods with high levels of oxalic acid (spinach, rhubarb) and phytic acid (unleavened bread, nuts), as they can bind with calcium and reduce its absorption.
• Alcohol should be consumed in moderation as it may impair the liver's ability to metabolize Vitamin D.
• Grapefruit juice may interfere with Vitamin D metabolism, so it's best to avoid excessive consumption.
