Plz tag an endorinologist.A friend had Vitamin D deficiency. levels were 21.4 doctor told him that it should be above 40 at least. Dr gave vitamin d supplements and he started taking them. He took sunny D capsules containing 2 lack IU each. He took 3 4 capsules in one month. So he took 6 to 8 lack IU vitamin d3 in 1 month but then he got to know that he had to take one capsule every month and not 3 4 capsules. After taking last capsule he got tested nd levels of vit d were 78. But he is afraid of getting vitamin d toxicity because he took such high doses accidently. He stopped taking the capsules after the third capsule. Nd also got his calcium levels tested which were 10.3 first time and 9.7 nd 9.9 after 2 weeks and 4 weeks respectively. Will he be ok or can he get his kidneys or other organs damaged due to those high vit d doses?
yes .just stop taking it issue
