Vitamin D deficiency

Posted by natrfrk on March 7, 2007, at 16:04:32

I just learned I am extremely deficient of Vit D.
The doctor is prescribing 50,000 IU once weekly for 12 weeks, with no calcium or magnesium...
I know it is doctor prescribed, but doctors make mistakes all the time....
My question is this, is that safe?
Should I take that high of doses? and without taking extra cal mag?
