Contraindications

Chewable tabletsFilm-coated tablets

Hypersensitivity, hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, urolithiasis (formation of calcium stones), osteoporosis due to prolonged immobilization.

With caution - for kidney failure and sarcoidosis.

Incompatibilities

When used simultaneously with vitamin A, the toxicity of vitamin D is reduced. Phenytoin, barbiturates, glucocorticoids reduce the effectiveness of vitamin D3. Glucocorticoids reduce the absorption of calcium. Colestyramine, laxatives (paraffin oil) reduce the absorption of vitamin D3. With the simultaneous use of tetracyclines, the interval between doses should be at least 3 hours, bisphosphonates and sodium fluoride (their absorption is disturbed) - at least 2 hours — When combined with cardiac glycosides, their toxicity increases (ECG and clinical condition monitoring is necessary), with thiazide diuretics, the risk of hypercalcemia increases, with furosemide and other "loop" diuretics, the excretion of calcium by the kidneys increases.
