SUNDROP ORAL DROP 10ML

Cholecalciferol 200,000 IU Drops is a liquid supplement containing a high dose of Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in calcium and phosphorus absorption in the intestines, which is essential for maintaining healthy bones and teeth. This formulation is typically used to treat or prevent Vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency, especially in individuals with limited sun exposure, malabsorption conditions, or certain medical conditions that affect the body’s ability to absorb or utilize Vitamin D. The drops are easy to administer and allow for precise dosage, making them ideal for patients who require higher doses or have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules.

Drug Interactions for Cholecalciferol 200,000 IU Drops include:

• Cholecalciferol may interact with certain medications that affect calcium metabolism, such as thiazide diuretics, which can increase the risk of hypercalcemia.
• Concurrent use with corticosteroids can reduce the effectiveness of vitamin D, leading to decreased calcium absorption.
• Cholecalciferol may interact with anticonvulsants, such as phenytoin or phenobarbital, potentially reducing the effectiveness of vitamin D supplements.
• The use of cholecalciferol with calcium supplements or calcium-containing antacids may increase the risk of hypercalcemia, especially in individuals with renal impairment.
• Medications that lower cholesterol, such as cholestyramine, may reduce the absorption of vitamin D, potentially lowering its effectiveness.
• If you are taking medications for heart disease, such as digoxin, use caution as elevated calcium levels from vitamin D supplementation can increase the risk of digoxin toxicity.
• Cholecalciferol may interact with certain weight-loss drugs, such as orlistat, which can reduce the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamin D.

Food Interactions for Cholecalciferol 200,000 IU Drops include:

• Fatty foods may enhance the absorption of vitamin D, as it is a fat-soluble vitamin. Taking the drops with a meal containing healthy fats can help improve absorption.
• High-fiber foods, such as bran or certain vegetables, may reduce the absorption of vitamin D, potentially affecting its effectiveness.
• Excessive intake of calcium-rich foods (e.g., dairy products, fortified foods) in combination with vitamin D may increase the risk of hypercalcemia, especially if you're also taking calcium supplements.
• Foods high in oxalates, such as spinach or rhubarb, may interfere with calcium absorption, potentially affecting the synergistic effects of vitamin D and calcium.
• Avoid taking cholecalciferol with large amounts of alcohol, as alcohol can interfere with the absorption and metabolism of fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin D.
