Advit D 200,000 IU Injection – High-Dose Vitamin D for Deficiency Treatment
Advit D 200,000 IU Injection contains Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol) 200,000 IU, manufactured by Barrett Hodgson Pakistan. This high-potency intramuscular injection is prescribed for the rapid correction of severe Vitamin D deficiency — a condition prevalent in Pakistan due to limited sun exposure, dietary insufficiency, and malabsorption disorders. Vitamin D is essential for calcium and phosphorus homeostasis, bone mineralisation, muscle function, and immune regulation.
At 200,000 IU, this is a loading dose formulation. It is typically administered when baseline serum 25(OH)D levels are critically low, when oral supplementation cannot be relied upon (due to malabsorption, poor compliance, or GI disease), or when rapid normalisation of Vitamin D status is clinically required. The injection delivers Cholecalciferol directly into the muscle for reliable systemic absorption, bypassing gastrointestinal barriers.
Advit D 200,000 IU is indicated for conditions including rickets, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, secondary hyperparathyroidism, and general Vitamin D deficiency with its associated musculoskeletal and immunological consequences. For patients requiring ongoing supplementation at lower doses, a range of oral Vitamin D products is available — see our General Medicines collection. Derma.pk stocks Advit D with authentic pharmacy-verified supply and delivers across Pakistan including Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad.
This injection must be administered by a qualified healthcare professional. Regular monitoring of serum Vitamin D and calcium is essential during high-dose therapy to prevent hypervitaminosis D.

FAQs
Why is the injectable form used instead of oral Vitamin D?
The injection is preferred when oral supplementation is insufficient (e.g. malabsorption syndromes), when a rapid boost is needed, or when patient compliance with daily oral doses is poor.
How often is this injection given?
Typically as a single loading dose or quarterly, depending on your baseline deficiency level and your doctor's protocol.
What symptoms does Vitamin D deficiency cause?
Fatigue, bone pain, muscle weakness, frequent infections, and mood changes are common signs of deficiency. Severe deficiency causes rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults.
Can too much Vitamin D be harmful?
Yes. Vitamin D toxicity (hypervitaminosis D) can cause hypercalcaemia. Regular blood monitoring is essential with high-dose therapy.
Is a prescription required?
Yes. Advit D 200,000 IU Injection is a prescription-only medicine and must be administered by a healthcare professional.
