Vitamin D injection at Aesthete Clinic
Vitamin D injection
Vitamin D injections are a method of delivering a concentrated dose of vitamin D directly into the bloodstream. They are typically recommended when a patient has a severe deficiency in vitamin D. Injections are considered when oral supplements are not effective or when rapid correction of vitamin D levels is necessary, as they can provide a more immediate and efficient way to raise vitamin D levels in the body.
It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if vitamin D injections are appropriate for a specific patient’s needs. Please note, that Vitamin D injections are not suitable for those who are pregnant or for those actively trying to conceive.
