How To Use Vitamin D2

Ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) comes in the form of capsules and liquid medicine to be taken by mouth once daily. Read the label carefully and take vitamin D exactly as advised. Do not change the dose, dosing frequency, or duration of treatment without talking to the prescribing physician. 

Swallow the capsules whole without cutting, crushing, or chewing them. Use the dropper or dosing syringe provided to carefully measure the liquid medicine.

Missed dose: If you miss a dose of vitamin D2, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next dose according to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take extra medicine or a double dose to make up for a missed dose.

Storage: Store vitamin D2 at room temperature (storage temperature ranges between 15-30° C or 59-86° F) away from moisture, heat, and direct light in the original container, tightly closed. Do not store medications in the bathroom where they can be exposed to moisture and heat. Keep all medications safely out of reach of children and pets.

Unused medicine: Unused vitamin D2 should be disposed of in a way that children, other people, and pets cannot get to them. Do not throw vitamin D2 in the trash or flush it down the toilet. The best way to properly discard expired or unneeded vitamin D2 is through a drug take-back program or your local waste disposal company. Learn more about proper medication disposal
