my orthopedic surgeon prescribed me depura 5ml 60000 iu stat in one dose once a month forever.is this safe for me? my one kidney is removed by surgery due to cancer.
Brief Answer:
It is safe to take 60000ui vit D3 when you have one kidney.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The fact that you are with one kidney may have impaired activation of vitamin D that is done in kidneys.
Your doctor has diagnosed you with vitamin D severe deficiency that's why he gave you that big dose of vitamin D.
It is safe for you to take it because the primary excretion route of vitamin D3 is via the bile into the feces. Urinary excretion is very insignificant so taking too much vitamin D doesn't put kidneys on stress.
Best regards.
