Hey, can we take Vitamin D capsules without a doctor's prescription? If it's okay, is it alright to take one weekly in the morning for a month and then stop? Would love your advice on this!

If you suspect a deficiency, consult a healthcare provider for appropriate testing and dosage recommendations. Meanwhile, ensure moderate sun exposure and a balanced diet to maintain healthy Vitamin D levels.

I'm a bit confused about the tablets I have at home. The doctor recommended I take D Rise 60k, but I found some Uprise D3 60k here. Are these the same thing, and is it okay if I take the Uprise D3 instead of buying new ones?
Yes both are same you can take either
