It contains Vitamin-D3 (Cholecalciferol), a fat-soluble vitamin. It helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and the mineralization of bone. Thus, it treats and prevents bone disorders like rickets and osteomalacia. It also aids in calcium absorption, enabling bone growth and repair. It further prevents cartilage degeneration.

About DV3 Injection

DV3 Injection is a vitamin supplement primarily used to treat vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency occurs when your body has low Vitamin D levels and is caused by inadequate nutrition, intestinal malabsorption, or lack of sunlight exposure. It effectively treats various conditions, including low calcium levels, osteoporosis (weak bones), latent tetany (a muscle disease characterized by low blood calcium levels), and rickets or osteomalacia (softening of bones due to low calcium levels).

DV3 Injection contains Cholecalciferol, a form of vitamin D. It promotes the absorption of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin A from different organs and helps maintain overall health.

DV3 Injection is safe to use in children when recommended by the paediatrician. DV3 Injection is likely safe to consume. In rare cases, it may cause side effects such as constipation, increased blood calcium levels, elevated calcium levels in urine, vomiting, and nausea. These side effects typically do not require medical attention and usually resolve gradually over time. If these side effects persist, please consult your physician immediately.

Inform your physician if you are allergic to DV3 Injection. This medicine may contain sugar or aspartame. Hence, caution should be taken in diabetes and phenylketonuria (increased levels of an amino acid called phenylalanine). Let your doctor know if you have any liver/kidney disease, heart disease, kidney stones and hypervitaminosis D (having too much vitamin D) or are pregnant or breastfeeding before taking DV3 Injection.

Uses of DV3 Injection

DV3 Injection is used in the treatment of Vitamin D deficiency, Osteomalacia (Rickets), Osteoporosis, and Hypocalcemia (low blood calcium levels). The detailed uses of DV3 Injection are as follows:

  • Treat vitamin D deficiency: DV3 Injection rapidly restores low vitamin D levels in individuals who cannot absorb it adequately through diet or sunlight, especially in cases of severe deficiency.
  • Support bone health and prevent osteoporosis: By enhancing calcium absorption, DV3 Injection strengthens bones and reduces the risk of fractures, particularly in postmenopausal women and elderly patients.
  • Helps in managing osteomalacia and rickets: DV3 Injection helps correct soft or weak bones caused by prolonged deficiency, improving bone mineralization.
