Pharmacist tips for Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7)

pharmacist

  • Keeping a healthy and balanced diet that contains natural sources of vitamins and minerals while taking a Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7) might help maintain your nutrient levels. If needed, you can talk to a nutritionist about a dietary plan that works for you.

    • It's recommended to get routine measurements of your vitamin D levels while taking Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7). Make sure to keep up with all of the lab work your provider orders for you.

      • Tell your provider or pharmacist about all the medications and supplements you're taking before starting Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7) to make sure there are no interactions. Don't take other supplements that contain any form of vitamin D or vitamin K unless your provider specifically said it was safe to do so. If you're not sure if a certain supplement or medication has vitamin D or vitamin K, ask your provider or pharmacist.

        • If you're taking warfarin (Coumadin), don't take Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7) without asking your provider first. Vitamin K can counteract the effects of warfarin (Coumadin), meaning warfarin (Coumadin) will not work as well for you. This can raise your risk for blood clots.

          • Store your Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7) at room temperature and away from children. If your child accidentally took any Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7), get medical help or call the Poison Control Center at 800-222-1222 right away.

            faqs

            Frequently asked questions about Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7)

            Should I take a Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7) to boost my health even if my provider didn't specifically say I need it?
            No. Most people get enough vitamins and minerals from food and don't typically need Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7) unless blood vitamin D and vitamin K levels are low and require treatment. Even though Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7) is available over-the-counter, the manufacturer recommends taking Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7) under the direct supervision of a healthcare provider to make sure it's as safe for you. Ask your provider if you aren't sure if you need to take Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7).
            What are the potential health benefits of Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7)?
            Taking Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7) can raise your vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 levels, two essential vitamins, if your levels are low. This supplement contains vitamin D, which is commonly used for people who need help absorbing calcium to build strong bones. Having enough vitamin D might also lower your risk of other health conditions, such as infections and heart problems, but more research is needed in these areas. Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7) also contains vitamin K, which can help with blood clotting and building healthy bones.
            Can I take other supplements containing vitamin D or vitamin K with Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7)?
            No, don't take other vitamin D or vitamin K supplements while taking Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7) unless your provider specifically told you to do so. Too much vitamin D can cause your body to absorb too much calcium, which can be a serious medical emergency. Too much vitamin K is more rare, but can be serious as well.
            Can Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7) be used in children?
            No, don't give Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7) to a child unless their provider specifically said it was safe to do so. In general, the recommended daily amount of vitamin D for children is 400 to 600 international units (10-15 mcg) per day. Each tablet of Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7) contains 5,500 international units (137.5 mcg) of vitamin D3, which is much higher than the recommended amount. Too much vitamin D can cause your child's calcium level to be too high, which can be a serious medical emergency.
            Can I take Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7) if I'm pregnant?
            Before starting Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7), ask your provider to see if this supplement is right for you. While it's recommended for pregnant females with low vitamin D levels to take a supplement during pregnancy, vitamin K isn't routinely part of prenatal care. If you're pregnant, check in with your provider to see if they recommend any specific prenatal vitamins for you. Dosokap (vitamin D / MenaQ7) isn't a prenatal vitamin and doesn't contain all the vitamin and minerals needed for your growing baby.
