What is Vitamin D₃ Streuli and when is it used?

Vitamin D₃ Streuli is an oily solution with cholecalciferol (vitamin D₃). Humans can normally produce vitamin D₃ themselves under the influence of sunlight in the skin.

Vitamin D₃ is necessary for the absorption of calcium from food and is essential for normal bone formation.

In the case of insufficient exposure to the sun, insufficient intake of vitamin D₃-enriched foods and an increased need for vitamin D₃ during growth, pregnancy and lactation, the body must also be offered this vitamin.

Vitamin D₃ Streuli is used for the following diseases:

• Prevention of softening of bones in children (rickets);
• Prevention of softening of bones in adults (osteomalacia);
• Preventive doses: strong growth phases, pregnancy and breastfeeding.

When may vitamin D₃ Streuli are not used?

• Only take the dose prescribed by your doctor for the specified period of time.
• Avoid taking excessive vitamin D doses for months or years, especially if you are also taking calcium and/or vitamin-enriched nutrients (e.g. bottle preparations).
• Vitamin D preparations must not be used in conditions with an increased calcium content in the blood or urine or in excretion disorders of the kidneys.

When should caution be taken when taking vitamin D₃ Streuli?

All D vitamins are harmful if they are taken in excessive doses (more than 1000-3000 lU per kg body weight).

Particular caution is required in the case of disorders of the calcium metabolism, kidney diseases and heart diseases. In these cases, you should consult your doctor.

Inform your doctor, pharmacist or druggist if you suffer from other illnesses, have allergies or are taking other medicines (including those you bought yourself!) or use them externally!

Can vitamin D₃ Streuli be taken during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

Based on previous experience, there is no known risk for the child when used as intended. However, systematic scientific investigations have never been carried out. As a precaution, you should avoid taking medicines during pregnancy and breastfeeding or ask your doctor, pharmacist or druggist for advice.
