This blog post will walk you through: vitamin d 3 cholecalciferol.
Side Effects
by mouth as directed. Vitamin D is best absorbed when taken after a meal but may be taken with or without food. Your dosage is based on your medical condition, amount of sun exposure, diet, age, and response to treatment.
Do not use a household spoon because you may not get the correct dose. Do not swallow whole wafers. If you are taking the rapidly-dissolving tablets, dry your hands before handling the medication.
Place each dose on the tongue, allow it to dissolve completely, and then swallow it with saliva or water. It may be easiest to take vitamin D at bedtime if you are also taking these other medications. Do not take other supplements/vitamins unless ordered by your doctor.
