Activity Description

Vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency are prevalent worldwide; thus, regularly monitoring vitamin D levels is recommended for individuals at risk of such deficiencies. Cholecalciferol is a dietary supplement indicated for patients with vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency, and it also demonstrates various off-label uses. This activity comprehensively examines the indications, mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, administration, adverse effects, drug interactions, contraindications, monitoring, and toxicity associated with cholecalciferol. This activity also highlights the roles of the interprofessional healthcare team in their coordinated efforts to enhance patient care by disseminating knowledge among healthcare professionals and patients about the significance of routinely monitoring vitamin D levels, thereby optimizing patient outcomes with cholecalciferol therapy.

  • Implement evidence-based strategies for cholecalciferol supplementation, considering dosage forms and personalized treatment plans.

  • Select optimal dosage forms and formulations of cholecalciferol tailored to individual patient needs.
