Brief Answer:
Ulcers and sore gums are not a known side effect of Rayaldee

Detailed Answer:
Hello, I'm Dr. Branch, thanks for using Ask a Doctor. Rayaldee is a form of Vitamin D that is often used in patients with severe kidney injury to help counteract the effects of the chronic kidney disease. Since it is a form of a hormone found naturally in the body, it has few side effects, and is not known to cause mouth ulcers or sore gums, so I would not suspect it as the cause for these symptoms. These are also not common symptoms of chronic kidney disease, assuming that is the reason you are taking it.

There are many causes of mouth ulcers and sore gums, including autoimmune causes, as well as infectious causes, especially from some viruses and fungus, but it will be difficult to say what it could be without examining you. I would suggest seeing your doctor about this to help get a better idea of what might be causing this.

I hope that helps, please let me know if you have any questions about any of that, and I would be glad to discuss it with you further.
