Overview

Cross-sectional survey indicates high vitamin d3 deficiency prevalence in OPD patients, highlighting treatment challenges.

Key Points

  • High prevalence of vitamin d3 deficiency was noted in 51%-100% of OPD patients across India, raising health concerns.
  • Survey results showed that 58% of doctors prescribe an 8-week course of 60K vitamin d3 supplements, primarily for immune support.
  • Sixty-seven percent of doctors assess deficiency via common symptoms like fatigue and depression, influencing their treatment approach.
  • Challenges such as low patient awareness and high therapy costs hinder effective vitamin d3 supplementation efforts.
