Brief Answer:
You can take Uprise D3

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

Yes you can take either of these two. These are same medicines with different brand names. Uprise D3 is available in three doses, so if you are in doubt about dose, you can check with me about that. I personally believe that Vitamin D3 should be taken in lower doses so that it does not cause side effects.

Blemishes and dry cough cause vitamin D deficiency-this statement is incorrect.
