Full Prescribing Info

Overdosage

Symptomatic vitamin D intoxication is extremely rare but can be caused by inadvertent or intentional ingestion of excessively high doses. Doses of more than 50,000 IU per day raise levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D to more than 150 ng per milliliter (374 nmol per liter) and are associated with hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia.
Treatment of vitamin D analog intoxication consists of withdrawal of both the Calciferol Vitamin D3 1,000 IU and calcium supplements, maintenance of a low-calcium diet to decrease serum calcium concentrations, administration of oral or IV fluids and, if needed, corticosteroids or other drugs, particularly calciuric diuretics (e.g., furosemide and ethacrynic acid) to decrease serum calcium concentrations.
