Ingredient	Amount Per Serving	%DV
Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) (5,000IU)	125 mg	625%

Excess amounts of vitamin D are toxic. Signs and symptoms of toxicity are unlikely at daily intakes below 250 mcg (10,000 IU).

Vitamin D supplements may interact with several types of medications:

Orlistat. The weight-loss drug orlistat (Xenical® and alli®), together with a reduced-fat diet, can reduce the absorption of vitamin D from food and supplements.

Statins. Statin medications may reduce vitamin D synthesis. High intakes of vitamin D, especially from supplements, might reduce the potency of atorvastatin (Lipitor®), lovastatin (Altoprev® and Mevacor®), and simvastatin (FloLipid™ and Zocor®).

Steroids. Corticosteroid medications, such as prednisone (Deltasone®, Rayos®, and Sterapred®), may impair vitamin D metabolism.

Thiazide diuretics. The combination of thiazide diuretics (e.g., Hygroton®, Lozol®, and Microzide®) might lead to hypercalcemia.

If you take any of these medications, you should speak to your health care provider about appropriate dosage of this supplement.
