You can rest easy. No need to worry.
Problems can occur only if Vit D is taken in excess over several months.
In your mothers case she has only taken two doses extra.
Our body usually flushes out unwanted stuff on its own. However you can take following steps to detox.
1. Drink more water for next fortnight.
2. Take two lemons per day with water.
3. Take beetroot salad everyday
4. Take no milk or milk products for two weeks. Only tea can be taken.

Asked for male, 37 years old from Bangalore

Dear Sir/ Madam, 1. Can Himalaya Ashwagandha tablets (250 mg one tablet twice a day) be taken with Sri Sri's Narayankalpa tablets (500 mg 2 tablets twice a day) for reducing stress and anxiety? 2. Can they be taken empty stomach? 3. Can they be taken long term? 4. Can their intake or overdose cause sleepiness or headache? 5. Can Himalaya Brahmi be added to the above without any adverse effects? Thank you. Would be grateful for your response.

Ashwagandha can be taken with brahmi tablets after food and we have to review the person every six months and it's unlikely for them to cause headaches

Asked for male, 26 years old from Howrah

Two days ago my finger got scratched by rusted nails. I went to local state govt. Hospital and the nurse gave me a shot of anti-tetanus. Before that shot I took a single shot of t.t (tetanus toxoid) along with anti-rabies vaccine on 27th april 2016. Now I have two questions. One, when I asked the nurse at the time of 2nd shot of tetanus she said that one shot of tetanus is valid for 3 months. Now my question is, I took 2nd shot of anti-tetanus within two months from the first shot (t.t). Am I overdosed? Is there any risk? Second, will the 2nd shot of t.t make any bad effect on anti-rabies vaccine?

Dr. Robin Anand93%(16013 ratings)

You do not overdosed & you do not need to worry about any risk. Both vaccines have different mode of action so it do not effect the anti-rabies vaccine.

Asked for female, 33 years old from Pune

I have vitamin d3 of 24.46 and have been prescribed injection arachitol 6 lakh twice a week. Is it ok to have such high dose of d3. Will lead to overdose of vitamin d3? Please help.

Dr. Surbhi Agrawal94%(20256 ratings)

PDDM, MHA, MBBS

General Physician•Nashik

The most accurate way to measure how much vitamin d is in your body is the 25-hydroxy vitamin d blood test. A level of 20 nanograms/milliliter to 50 ng/ml is considered adequate for healthy people. A level less than 12 ng/ml indicates vitamin d deficiency.
So if you have 24.46 ng / ml, you do not need supplements.

Health Query

Hi my friend consumed 30herfem tabs containing 100 mg elemental iron per day for 3 days. He had nausea and vomiting. But later he is fine. A week after that he was diagnosed with LFT (Liver Function Test) and serum creatinine everything is normal. This was happened 2 weeks ago. But now he's feeling weak slightly nausea and no hungry. So isn't he safe now. Is he still affected by iron overdose?

May not be as long as he stopped consuming iron. Iron toxicity is more of acute in nature and he must have just scrapped through. He must have been some 50 kg or more. Please check serum iron.

I'm taking a multivitamin since 2 days. I felt slight headache today. I was thinking may be it's an overdose of a certain vitamin in my body. So would you advise me to cut it in half and take only half everyday? Thank you doctor.

Hye.
First of all taking a multivitamin cannot be done randomly.
You need a multivitamin supplement only if you have a medical condition which calls for an increased need or you have a deficiency. In two days of the intake you cannot develop toxicity of a vitamin.
Also if the requirement is justified or you are having a deficiency then taking half the dose does not make sense.
There is a possibility that you took the supplement on an empty stomach or with a stimulant like tea or ...more

One instance of such an indiscretion is unlikely to cause any harm. However repeated incorrect food and lifestyle behaviour are a sure way to metabolic disorders

She's on a high dose of thyroxine it is essential to follow your doctor's advice and get her thyroid profile checked. I have never seen such a dosage regimen for hypothyroidism. But the treatment protocol may vary from physician to physician.

In view of your opioid dependence, you should get admitted at a psychiatric hospital or an approved de-addiction center for the management of your illness. If even after your leg amputation, you are unable to control the substance use, that itself shows that the severity of the illness is quite high. So, contact your nearest hospital at the earliest.

Asked for male, 57 years old from Pune

I am 21-year-old female, I have very high pulse rate, mostly above 100, 120 is also normal for me but my metabolism is slow, any healing is slow, no thyroid problem nor diabetic but have pcos. I had to take iron and d3 as vitamin d and hemogram was way below normal. Vitamin d, till I started d3 supplements, was 5.7 and hemoglobin was 6.7 before I took 5 injections and now am taking supplements for the same. Now d3 is 24.35 and 10.9, less but better than before. What is the way forward? Why high pulse but slow metabolism? Thanks.

Internal Medicine Specialist•Gandhidham

Hi dear friend.
I noted down your history. Here are the few points I would like to add from my side.
1) your pulse rate was/is high because your hb was/is low. 2) now as it is better than before but still you should take some supplements for vitamin b12 as well. 3) consume diet rich in iron like spinach, beetroot, dryfruits, eggs etc.
4) if all the above is corrected and still pulse is high then need to see for other issues like anxiety.
Thanks and regards.
