Dow-D 5mg/ml Injection provides high-potency Vitamin D therapy for severe deficiency, available via PakMeds for reliable home delivery to clinics and homes.

Dow-D 5mg/ml Injection Ingredients and Usage

Dow-D 5mg/ml Injection contains Cholecalciferol, the most effective form of Vitamin D3. This high-strength injectable is clinically used to treat severe Vitamin D deficiency that cannot be corrected by oral supplements alone. It is also indicated for the prevention and treatment of nutritional rickets, osteomalacia, and as a supportive therapy for osteoporosis. The injectable route is particularly beneficial for patients with malabsorption syndromes or those who require rapid restoration of Vitamin D levels. PakMeds delivers this concentrated vitamin therapy to help patients maintain healthy bones and immune function.

How Does Dow-D 5mg/ml Injection Work?

Cholecalciferol is a fat-soluble vitamin that is converted in the liver to 25-hydroxyvitamin D and then in the kidneys to its active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol). This active hormone works by increasing the intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, which are vital for the mineralization of bone. It also plays a key role in regulating parathyroid hormone levels and supporting muscle function. By providing a large bolus dose through injection, Dow-D ensures that the body’s stores are replenished, promoting long-term skeletal health.

Dow-D 5mg/ml Injection Side Effects

Side effects are rare when used at the recommended dosage. However, excessive doses can lead to Vitamin D toxicity (hypervitaminosis D), which results in hypercalcemia. Symptoms include nausea, constipation, confusion, and excessive thirst. If you experience these signs, seek medical attention to check your calcium levels.

List of Warnings:

• Should only be administered via intramuscular injection by a healthcare professional.
• Do not use if you have high levels of calcium or Vitamin D in your blood.
• Use with caution in patients with kidney disease or sarcoidosis.
• Regular blood tests to monitor serum calcium and Vitamin D levels are highly recommended during treatment.

Dow-D 5mg/ml Injection Storage Conditions

Store Dow-D Injection in a cool, dark place, ideally at a temperature below 25°C. Protect the ampoule from direct sunlight and heat, as Vitamin D is sensitive to light. Do not freeze the product and keep it in its original carton until the time of administration.
