Hello dear colleagues, I want to share the case of one of my patients 6 years old, her vit D was 14.5 and total calcium of 8.4 . In collaboration with her pediatrician, recommendations were 200 ui injection of vitamin D and calcium gluconate 500 mg 2x1/2 . I was afraid of the dose and combination and all recommended by her pediatrician. What is you opinion? Thank you in advance.Discussions
