I have been reported vitamin D deficiency (15 ng/ml. My questions are: 1.Is it necessary to take shelcal tablet along with cholecalciferol sachet if my calcium level was normal in blood report? 2.If shelcal is to be taken should cholecalciferol be taken alone for first four weeks once in a week and then shelcal tablet be taken daily? You can answer serialwise for convenience.

Dear Lybrateuser, - If your calcium level is normal then you don't require a calcium supplement, take only cholecalciferol as you are deficient in it (15-20 min exposure to sunlight in the morning is also a good natural source of vit D) - do not overdose your system as shelcal in itself has vit d, so either take shelcal only or cholecalciferol, you can alternate it every month.
