2. Kidney Stones: High doses of vitamin D supplementation, such as those found in Alfa-D Tablets, may increase the risk of kidney stone formation.
3. Allergic Reactions: Although rare, allergic reactions to vitamin D supplements are possible. Symptoms may include rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing. Seek medical attention if you experience any of these symptoms after taking Alfa-D Tablets.

Precautions:

1. Dosage: Follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding the dosage and duration of Alfa-D Tablet use. Do not exceed the recommended dosage unless instructed to do so by a healthcare professional.
2. Monitoring: Regular monitoring of calcium levels in the blood may be necessary during treatment with Alfa-D Tablets to prevent the development of hypercalcemia.
3. Medical History: Inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions, especially kidney disease, hyperparathyroidism, or sarcoidosis, as these conditions may affect how your body responds to vitamin D supplementation.
4. Other Medications: Inform your healthcare provider about any other medications, supplements, or herbal products you are taking, as they may interact with Alfa-D Tablets and affect their effectiveness or increase the risk of side effects.
5. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before taking Alfa-D Tablets, as the safety of vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been established conclusively.

Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice regarding the use of Alfa-D Tablets, especially if you have any concerns or experience adverse reactions.
