Hi.. I have a baby boy . He is two n half year old. He is suffering from minor rackets symptoms . I consult from the doctors, one said bone shine 1000 mg medicine for 2 to 3 yrs and other said ostrocalcium , bepfex forte , calcirol sachet for 6 months. But my baby is not taking medicine. He vomit a lot but he easily take bon-shine tablet. Now I give him bone shine and ostrocalcium . So I want to ask is this safe to continue take both medicine or nt ? pls help...

Hi & Welcome.

Given together these medications can cause Vitamin D toxicity, hence should be avoided.

Ostocalcium Tablet which contains Vitamin D3 and Calcium phosphate alone is enough for your baby.

Bonshine also contains Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol).

Hypervitaminosis D (Vitamin D toxicity) can occur if Vitamin D is given more than the recommended daily requirement like taking Ostocalcium along with Bonshine.

The main consequence of vitamin D toxicity is a buildup of calcium in the blood (hypercalcemia), which can cause poor appetite, nausea and vomiting. Weakness, frequent urination and kidney problems also may occur.

Hope these answer your query.
