Security Warning
The total dose of vitamin D in patients consists of the vitamin D content of other medicinal products taken and foods rich in vitamin D consumed, as well as the vitamin produced by the body as a result of exposure to solar radiation. In Poland, sufficient exposure to sunlight is only possible in the period from May to September and requires at least 15 minutes of exposure to the sun daily from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., with forearms and lower legs uncovered,without using creams with UV filters. Vitamin D should be used with caution in patients with impaired renal function and its effect on calcium and phosphorus levels should be monitored. The risk of soft tissue calcification should be taken into account. In patients with renal impairment treated with Ibuvit D3, parameters of calcium and phosphate metabolism should be monitored. Caution is necessary in patients receiving treatment for cardiovascular disease. Vitamin D should be used with caution in patients with sarcoidosis due to the risk of increased conversion of vitamin D to its active form. Serum and urine calcium levels should be monitored in these patients. There are no significant indications for measuring 25(OH)D in the general population. Patients taking other medications, dietary supplements containing vitamin D (cholecalciferol), calcitriol or other metabolites or vitamin D analogues should consult a doctor before taking Ibuvit D3 to select the appropriate dose. Patients with obesity (adults - BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2, children, adolescents - BMI > 90th percentile) require twice the dose of vitamin D than recommended for peers of normal body weight. There is insufficient data on the effect of vitamin D administration on the formation of kidney stones, although such a risk is possible, especially in the case of additional calcium supplementation. The need for additional must be considered individually calcium supplementation. Calcium levels in serum and urine should be monitored. In case of long-term use of vitamin D, especially daily doses significantly exceeding the recommended doses, calcium levels in serum and urine should be monitored and kidney function should be monitored by measuring creatinine levels. This is especially important in the case of elderly patients and with simultaneous treatment with cardiac glycosides or thiazide diuretics that reduce urinary calcium excretion.
