Zad (0.5Mg/Ml) 1 Ampoule Injection

Overview

Zad (0.5mg/ml) 1 Ampoule Injection is an injectable vitamin D3 preparation supplied as a single ampoule. The product title and SKU indicate a vitamin D3 injection in a 1ml presentation. Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is an important fat-soluble vitamin involved in calcium absorption, phosphate balance, bone mineralisation, muscle function, and maintenance of healthy skeletal structure.

This product should be used only when recommended by a qualified healthcare professional. Injectable vitamin D preparations are generally selected when a clinician decides that injection is appropriate, such as when a patient has confirmed deficiency, poor response to oral products, absorption concerns, adherence limitations, or a specific medical requirement. The exact dose, frequency, and duration must be decided by the prescriber based on laboratory results, age, diet, sun exposure, medical history, and concurrent medicines.
