Indications & Clinical Uses

Medivid (colecalciferol) is used in the management of disorders related to insufficient vitamin D and calcium metabolism.

  • Vitamin D deficiency: restores normal serum 25‑hydroxyvitamin D levels and supports bone health.
  • Calcium deficiency: enhances intestinal calcium absorption to improve calcium balance.
  • Osteomalacia/Rickets: promotes mineralisation of bone matrix in adults and children with defective mineralisation.

How It Works

  • Colecalciferol is converted in the liver to 25‑hydroxyvitamin D and subsequently in the kidney to the active hormone 1,25‑dihydroxyvitamin D. The active form binds to vitamin D receptors in intestinal cells, stimulating synthesis of calcium‑binding proteins that increase absorption of calcium and phosphate from the gut, thereby supporting skeletal mineralisation and calcium homeostasis.

Side Effects

Adverse reactions to oral colecalciferol are generally uncommon but can occur.

Common Side Effects

  • Nausea: mild gastrointestinal upset.
  • Constipation: occasional bowel changes.
  • Hypercalcemia symptoms: fatigue, headache.
  • Metallic taste: transient oral sensation.
  • Skin rash: mild dermal irritation.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe hypercalcemia: confusion, arrhythmia, renal impairment.
  • Hypercalciuria: kidney stone formation.
  • Allergic reaction: hives, swelling, anaphylaxis.
  • Hyperphosphatemia: muscle cramps, joint pain.
  • Persistent vomiting: may indicate toxicity.

Precautions & Warnings

When using Medivid, consider the following safety measures.

  • Assess baseline vitamin D levels: determine need for supplementation.
  • Monitor calcium status: avoid concurrent high‑calcium diets or supplements.
  • Renal impairment: adjust use under medical supervision.
  • Hyperparathyroidism: use only if advised by a clinician.
  • Pregnancy and lactation: consult healthcare professional before use.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, retain original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Avoid Interactions

Colecalciferol may interact with several medicines, requiring attention to avoid altered efficacy or toxicity.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Thiazide diuretics: increase risk of hypercalcemia.
  • Vitamin A excess: synergistic hypercalcemia risk.
  • Lithium: may exacerbate lithium‑induced hyperparathyroidism.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Anticonvulsants (e.g., phenytoin, phenobarbital): may reduce vitamin D levels.
  • Glucocorticoids: can impair vitamin D metabolism.
  • Orlistat: decreases absorption of fat‑soluble vitamins including vitamin D.

Frequently Asked Questions

Medivid contains colecalciferol, a form of vitamin D, and is used to treat vitamin D deficiency, support calcium absorption, and manage conditions such as osteomalacia or rickets that result from inadequate mineralisation of bone.

After oral intake, colecalciferol is converted in the liver and kidneys to the active hormone 1,25‑dihydroxyvitamin D. This hormone binds to vitamin D receptors in intestinal cells, stimulating production of calcium‑binding proteins that increase the absorption of calcium and phosphate from the gut.

The appropriate dose of Medivid is determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on the individual’s serum vitamin D level, age, weight, and clinical condition. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not self‑adjust the dosage.

Safety of colecalciferol during pregnancy and lactation has not been fully established. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss use with their healthcare provider to weigh potential benefits against any risks.

To order Medivid, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com with the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Medivid provides colecalciferol, the same active ingredient found in most vitamin D supplements. Compared with ergocalciferol (vitamin D2), colecalciferol (vitamin D3) has a longer half‑life and is generally considered more potent for raising and maintaining serum 25‑hydroxyvitamin D levels.

Medivid should be stored at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the product in its original container, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the packaging remains tightly sealed until use.

Medivid is taken orally, usually with or without food, as directed by a healthcare professional. The tablet or capsule is swallowed whole with a glass of water. Patients should not crush or chew the dosage form unless specifically instructed.

The most serious risk is hypercalcemia, which can cause confusion, cardiac arrhythmias, kidney stones, and renal impairment. Signs of excessive calcium levels should prompt immediate medical evaluation.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to colecalciferol or any excipients, patients with severe hypercalcemia, and those with certain disorders of calcium metabolism should avoid using Medivid unless a physician determines it is safe.
