Hi
Thanks for your query

I have gone through your query and understand your concern.Name of medicine containing vitamin D3 60000 IU are D3 Must (60k) and Bone DK (60k) and many more. You can take one of them. These are to be taken weekly at whatever time suitable to you. These are advised to take with milk as fat is essential for their absorption so these should be taken with milk or other fatty diet.There is no other issues of morning/ evening before or after food. Now issue of deficiency is generally due to less exposure to sunlight as vitamin D3 is formed by skin from vitamin D on exposure to sunlight. So lack of skin exposure to sunlight can be cause.

You can discuss with your doctor about it.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.
