special instructions
Vitamin D sensitivity varies from patient to patient. In some of them, even when taking the drug in therapeutic doses, the development of the phenomena of hypervitaminosis is possible.
The possibility of an overdose should not be ruled out, especially in children, therefore the dose of vitamin D3 should not exceed more than 10-15 mg per year.
In order to avoid overdose, it is contraindicated to simultaneously use other vitamin complexes, which contain vitamin D3 and / or calcium.
Newborns who are breastfed, especially those born to mothers with dark skin or who have received insufficient sun exposure, are at increased risk of developing vitamin D deficiency. However, their sensitivity to vitamin D is different, some children may be sensitive even to very low doses. For this reason, prophylaxis should be carried out under the close supervision of a physician.

Pediatric use
According to the instructions, Complivit Calcium D3 for babies is intended for children under the age of 3 years.
With impaired renal function
In case of renal failure, the drug should be used with caution.
Drug interactions
Complivit Calcium D3 for babies reduces the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics, iron preparations, bisphosphonates and digoxin. At least 2-3 hour intervals should be observed between doses.
The drug can enhance the effect of cardiac glycosides, therefore, it is necessary to monitor the patient's condition and the electrocardiogram.
Primidone, phenytoin and barbiturates increase the metabolism of vitamin D3, thereby reducing its effect.
Pantothenic acid, ascorbic acid, riboflavin, vitamin A, thiamine, tocopherol weaken the toxic effect of vitamin D3.
Vitamin D enhances the absorption of phosphorus-containing drugs, which increases the risk of developing hyperphosphatemia. In the case of concomitant administration of sodium fluoride, there should be a minimum interval of 2 hours between doses, oral tetracyclines - 3 hours.
Mineral oils, cholestyramine and colestipol reduce the absorption of vitamin D3, so an increase in the dose of the latter is required.
Thiazide diuretics, when used simultaneously, increase the likelihood of hypercalcemia.
Glucocorticosteroids reduce the absorption of calcium ions in the intestine.
With prolonged use of vitamin D3 in combination with antacids containing magnesium or aluminum, their concentration in the blood increases, as a result of which the risk of developing intoxication increases, especially in patients with chronic renal failure.
With the simultaneous use of other analogues of vitamin D and preparations containing calcium, the likelihood of developing hypervitaminosis D increases.
