Edge-3 (200000IU ) Capsules

Description

Edge-3 200000IU Capsule contains Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) and is made by GT Pharma. A single capsule delivers 200,000 IU of vitamin D3, so it is designed as a periodic “stat” dose rather than a daily supplement. Doctors usually recommend it for adults with low vitamin D levels, with the gap between doses decided on the basis of blood tests. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus for strong bones and teeth and normal muscle function. You can order it online from Divine Medicines with home delivery across Lahore.

Dosage

The usual adult dose is one capsule taken as a single dose. Your doctor will decide whether and when to repeat it, commonly once a month or every few months, depending on your vitamin D blood level. It is not intended for children unless a doctor specifically directs it.

How to Use

Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Take it with a meal that contains some fat, because vitamin D is absorbed better with food. Do not chew or open the capsule.

Missed Dose

Because this capsule is taken at long intervals, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Never take two capsules close together, and ask your doctor how to adjust your next dose date.

Overdose

Too much vitamin D can raise blood calcium (hypercalcaemia). Warning signs include nausea, vomiting, constipation, strong thirst, frequent urination, weakness and confusion. Seek medical help immediately if you suspect an overdose.

When Not to Use

• High calcium levels in the blood or urine
• Existing vitamin D toxicity
• Allergy to cholecalciferol or any ingredient

Common side effects may include:

• Nausea or stomach upset
• Headache
• Constipation
• Signs of raised calcium (thirst, frequent urination, tiredness) with excessive use

Precautions & Warnings

• Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, kidney stones, sarcoidosis or heart disease
• Do not take other vitamin D or calcium products unless your doctor advises
• Your doctor may check calcium and vitamin D levels during long-term use

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

High-strength vitamin D doses should only be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding if your doctor specifically recommends them. Lower daily doses are usually preferred in these periods.

Drug Interactions
