D-Push Capsule is a dietary supplement that consists of Cholecalciferol or Vitamin D3. It regulates calcium and phosphate metabolism and works by increasing the amount of vitamin D in the body.
D-Push Capsule is used to increase low levels of calcium in the body. Hence it is not advised to use D-Push Capsule during hypercalcaemia since it causes an overdose of calcium leading to kidney stones and other effects.
Avoid taking more than one multivitamin product concomitantly unless advised by the doctor. Taking similar nutritional supplements simultaneously can lead to a vitamin overdose or other serious side effects.
D-Push Capsule may increase the absorption of Aluminium in antacids. Hence it is advised to take D-Push Capsule two hours before or four hours after taking antacids.
Fatty fish (tuna, trout, salmon, and mackerel), fish liver oil, egg yolk, and beef liver are good sources of Vitamin D. Vitamin D-fortified foods like plant milk, dairy, juices, and breakfast cereals are also good sources of Vitamin D.
Not getting enough vitamin D through diet/food, limited exposure to sunlight, organs such as the liver or kidney not being able to convert vitamin D to its active form in the body, taking medicines which interfere with the absorption of vitamin D may cause deficiency of vitamin D.
D-Push Capsule is administered either intramuscularly or subcutaneously by a healthcare professional.
D-Push Capsule helps treat and prevent bone disorders, supports immune health, and promotes muscle and nerve functioning. It aids the absorption of calcium and makes the bones strong.
Since a doctor will administer D-Push Capsule, he/she will determine the time of administration.
People who are allergic to vitamin D, have hypervitaminosis D (high levels of vitamin D), hypercalcemia (high levels of calcium) or malabsorption syndrome should not take D-Push Capsule.
Too much vitamin D may cause hypervitaminosis D (high levels of vitamin D). However, as D-Push Capsule is administered by a doctor it is unlikely to overdose on this medicine.
The amount of Vitamin D3 needed depends on age. The average daily recommended amount as per NIH is Birth-12 months: 400IU1-13 years: 600IU14-18 years: 600IU19-70 years: 600IU71 years and older: 800IUPregnant and breastfeeding women: 600IU
