Soft gelatin cap: 5,000 IU: Pregnancy: Cholecalciferol 5000 IU should not be used during pregnancy unless the clinical condition of the woman requires treatment with Cholecalciferol, at a dose necessary to overcome the deficiency.
Women should follow instructions of medical practitioner during pregnancy since their needs may differ depending on the severity of their condition and respond to the treatment.
Based on human experience and animal research, vitamin D overdose causes physical and mental impairment, as well as congenital heart and eye abnormalities, when Cholecalciferol is administered during pregnancy.
Lactation: Cholecalciferol and its metabolites are excreted in breast milk. Overdose in infants induced by nursing mothers has not been observed. However, when prescribing additional vitamin D to a breast-fed child the practitioner should consider the dose of any additional vitamin D given to the mother.
