Storage instructions:
Store in a dry and dark place below 30 degrees C.

Warnings:
Keep out of reach of children.Disclaimer: this medicine has not been evaluated by the MCC for its quality, safety and for its intended use.Contra-indications:Diseases and/or conditions resulting in hypercalcaemia or hypercalciuria.Nephrolithiasis.Nephrocalcinosis.Hypervitaminosis D.Hypersensitivity to the active substance.Warnings and special precautions:D Tabs should be prescribed with caution to patients suffering from sarcoidosis due to risk of increased metabolism of vitamin D into its active form. These patients should be monitored with regard to the calcium content in serum and urine.During long-term treatment, serum calcium levels should be followed and renal function should be monitored through measurements of serum creatinine. Monitoring is especially important in elderly patients on concomitant treatment with cardiac glycosides or diuretics and in patients with a high tendency to calculus formation. In case of hypercalciuria (exceeding 300 mg (7.5 mmol)/24 hours) or signs of impaired renal function the dose should be reduced or the treatment discontinued.D Tabs should be used with caution in patients with impairment of renal function and the effect on calcium and phosphate levels should be monitored. The risk of soft tissue calcification should be taken into account. In patients with severe renal insufficiency, vitamin D in the form of colecalciferol is not metabolised normally and other forms of vitamin D should be used.The content of vitamin D (1000 IU) in D Tabs should be considered when prescribing other medicinal products containing vitamin D. Additional doses of vitamin D should be taken under close medical supervision. In such cases it is necessary to monitor serum calcium levels and urinary calcium excretion frequently.Always tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other medicine. If you are pregnant or breast feeding your baby please consult your doctor, pharmacist or other healthcare professional for advice before taking this medicine.Drug interactions:Thiazide diuretics reduce the urinary excretion of calcium. Due to the increased risk of hypercalcaemia, serum calcium should be regularly monitored during concomitant use of thiazide diuretics.Concomitant use of phenytoin or barbiturates may reduce the effect of vitamin D since the metabolism increases.Excessive dosing of vitamin D can induce hypercalcaemia, which may increase the risk of digitalis toxicity and serious arrhythimias due to the additive inotropic effects. The electrocardiogram (ECG) and serum calcium levels of patients should be closely monitored.Glucocorticoid steroids may increase vitamin D metabolism and elimination. During concomitant use, it may be necessary to increase the dose of desunin tablets.Simultaneous treatment with ion exchange resins such as cholestyramine or laxatives such as paraffin oil may reduce the gastrointestinal absorption of Vitamin D.Pregnancy & lactation:D Tabs should be used during pregnancy, only in the case of a vitamin D deficiency. D Tabs is not recommended during pregnancy in patients without a vitamin D deficiency as the daily intake should not exceed 600 IU Vitamin D.Vitamin-D can be used during breast-feeding. Vitamin D3 passes into breast milk. This should be considered when giving additional Vitamin D.Side-effects:Vitamin D is likely safe when taken by mouth in recommended amounts. Most people do not commonly experience side effects with Vitamin D, unless too much is taken. Some side effects of taking too much vitamin D include weakness, fatigue, sleepiness, headache, loss of appetite, dry mouth, metallic taste, nausea, vomiting, and kidney damage. Not all side effects reported for this Medicine are included in this leaflet. Should your general health worsen or should you experience any untoward effects while taking this medicine, please consult your doctor, pharmacist or health care professional.Known symptoms of overdosage and particulars of its treatment:Overdose can lead to hyper-vitaminosis D. An excess of vitamin D causes abnormally high levels of calcium in the blood, which can eventually severely damage the soft tissues, and kidneys. Tolerable Upper Intake Level for vitamin D3 (colecalciferol) is set at 4000 IU (100 pg) per day. Vitamin D3 should not be confused with its active metabolites.Symptoms of hypercalcaemia may include anorexia, thirst, nausea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, muscle weakness, fatigue, mental disturbances, polydipsia, polyuria, bone pain, nephrocalcinosis, renal calculi and in severe cases, cardiac arrhythmias. Extreme hypercalcaemia may result in coma and death. Persistently high calcium levels may lead to irreversible renal damage and soft tissue calcification.Treatment of hypercalcaemia: The treatment with vitamin D must be discontinued. Treatment with thiazide diuretics, lithium, vitamin A, and cardiac glycosides must also be discontinued. Rehydration, and, according to severity, isolated or combined treatment with loop diuretics, bisphosphonates, calcitonin and corticosteroids should be considered.Serum electrolytes, renal function and diuresis must be monitored. In severe cases, ECG and CVP should be followed.
