Even my vit d count was low to 22.my doctor asked me to take lumia 60k capsule once a week for 6 weeks and then one tablet biweekly.my levels became normal with in a month.
Both entacavir and tdf are good for hep b.though people on this thread favour tdf I took entacavir 0.5 mg based on what my doctor suggested.
I meant multiposting on two threads
Hi Stef
I am multiplying on two threads. Will stick to this one now on.
Should I start entecavir treatment?
I have Calcirol sachets with me each satchels 60000 IU. What is the best time to have the sachet. Should I have it daily? Sachet direction says 1 sachet per week.
Have read your reply on other thread.
Thanks a ton, it's due to you I went for vitamin deficiency and HBs Ag quantitative tests
Thanks a ton again
Thanks Stef
I just bought Calcirol sachet (same as Brij116 is using). It says 60000IU/GM and a sachet is 1Gm. Can I start with this? And then later switch to tablets of higher dose?
I just want to start, want to feel a little better. I was very active till 20th January 2016, I even did 100km cycle ride in 5 hours on 17th January without any problem. Had stomach ache, upset in last week of January.Now experiencing fatigue.
If not for you, I would have never done Vitamin D3 deficiency test, I don't understand why my doctor never asked me to do this test and HBs Ag quantitative test, and just prescribed Entecavir 0.5mg.
Thanks a ton to you, you are doing great job.
if vit d is less than 10ng/ml a big dose like 150.000-300.000 to 1.000.000iu is useful and then a maintenance dose 2000 to 10.000iu daily, this is what italian guidelines use
i d go for 10.000iu daily and 150.000iu in a single dose
if you dont have pills at 10.000iu in your local pharmacy buy online from iherb or big online websites
Brij116
Is Calcirol best option in India?
Sorry the vitamin D level is way too low 9.41ng/ml (I wrongly typed 19.94.
