Brief Answer:
you need injectable vitamin D

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

I have seen the uploaded report.

Your report says you have severe Vitamin D deficiency at 6.31 ng/ml. You would need to take injectable Vitamin D around 60,000 IU every week for atleast 3 months. There are oral preparations of Vitamin D available as well. You can try that too.

Please consult your primary doctor at the earliest and get treated accordingly.

Injectable Vitamin D is available as Inj. Arachitol. Oral preparation is available as Mashyne sachets. Please get the medicines prescribe accordingly by your doctor.

Please repeat the test after 3 months of treatment.

A fair amount of sun exposure would help in generating Vitamin D as well.

Your total cholesterol is normal.

Let me know if you have more doubts.

Regards,
