I was just prescribed Ergocalciferol by my neurologist and his advice to me, after reviewing my RX and vitamin regime was: Take straight Calcium tabs at 2 500 tabs daily, not the Calcium augmented with vit D, lay off the B-complexes, keep up my glutcosamine and fish oil, and my white and honeybush teas were OK.Although its usual purpose is to boost severe calcium and/or Vitamin D deficiency, it can be used for secondary uses. The reason why you are taking Ergocalciferol is the pivotal point in your question, and only your doctor can wisely answer you.Hope this helps.~ Its not the years, its the mileage ~
