I have sleeping issues and my Vitamin D is 9.63. The doctor prescribed Meloset 3 mg. Now my sleeping pattern has improved but my skin is getting dark and worse. What should I do?

Meloset helps sleep, does not darken skin. Low Vitamin D can affect skin. Take Vitamin D supplements as advised. Use sunscreen outdoors. Do Vitamin D test after 8 weeks. Consult doctor if skin darkens more.

Is 25(OH) Vitamin D the same as Vitamin D3? My recent report shows 25(OH) Vitamin D is 55.90. Eight months ago, my Vitamin D3 level was 13, and I took Vitamin D3 60,000 IU once a week for 3 months. I started taking it again for the past 1 month. Should I continue taking Vitamin D3 60,000 IU or stop now? Also, my current Vitamin B12 level is 494. Should I continue the B12 tablets or stop them?

Hi, I have been suffering from gastric problems for the past 1.5 years and have been taking allopathic medicines. However, during this time, my Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 levels became low. I am looking for a permanent cure that addresses the root cause without side effects. Is there a homeopathic treatment available for this? Please advise.
