2. What you need to know before you take Ditralia

Do not take Ditralia

  • if you are allergic to colecalciferol or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)
  • if you have a particular sensitivity to vitamin D (tissue damage in various organs caused by vitamin D overdose) (hypervitaminosis D)
  • if you have high levels of calcium in the blood
  • if you have high levels of calcium in the urine, especially if you have kidney stones
  • if you have calcium deposits in the kidneys (nephrocalcinosis)
  • if you have severely reduced kidney function (severe renal insufficiency)

If you are in any of the above situations, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Ditralia.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Ditralia.

Tell your doctor if you are taking other products that contain vitamin D, such as fortified foods and milk, as vitamin D accumulates in the body and an overdose can cause toxic effects. Ditralia should be used with caution in immobilized patients.

Therefore, it is important not to exceed the recommended dose.

Consult your doctor before taking Ditralia:

  • if you have a high tendency to form kidney stones
  • if you have a parathyroid hormone imbalance (pseudo-hypoparathyroidism)

If you have any of the following conditions, your doctor will monitor your calcium or phosphate levels in the blood, or your calcium levels in the urine:

  • if you have kidney problems
  • if you suffer from "sarcoidosis", an immune system disease that can affect the liver, lungs, skin, or lymph nodes
  • if you are an elderly person being treated with glycosides or diuretics
  • if you are immobilized

Children and adolescents

This medicine is not recommended for children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

Other medicines and Ditralia

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines, including those obtained without a prescription.

In particular, consult your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines:

  • thiazide diuretics: your calcium levels in the blood will be regularly monitored
  • corticosteroids ("steroids", e.g., prednisolone or dexamethasone): your vitamin D dose may need to be increased
  • cholestyramine (a medicine to reduce cholesterol) or laxatives (e.g., paraffin oil): reduce vitamin D absorption
  • heart medicines (cardiac glycosides): you will be under medical supervision and your ECG and calcium levels in the blood may be monitored
  • anticonvulsants (for the treatment of epilepsy; e.g., phenytoin), sleeping medicines (e.g., hydantoin, barbiturics), or primidone: reduce the effects of vitamin D
  • rifampicin, isoniazid (antibiotics): may reduce the effectiveness of vitamin D
  • actinomycin (a medicine used to treat some types of cancer) and antifungal agents derived from imidazole (e.g., clotrimazole and ketoconazole, medicines used to treat fungal infections): may reduce the effectiveness of vitamin D
  • products containing high doses of calcium: increase the risk of high calcium levels in the blood
  • products containing magnesium (e.g., antacids): should not be used during treatment with vitamin D due to the risk of high magnesium levels
  • products containing high doses of phosphorus: concomitant use with vitamin D may increase the risk of high phosphate levels in the blood
  • orlistat (a medicine used to treat obesity, including weight loss): may reduce vitamin D absorption. There should be a 2-hour interval (before and after) between the administration of vitamin D and orlistat.

Taking Ditralia with food and drinks

See section 3 "How to take Ditralia".

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, high doses of this product should not be used, but lower doses. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking vitamin D. Vitamin D3 passes into breast milk.

However, it is not expected that normal levels of vitamin D will have negative effects on fertility.
