Product Details:

Arachitol 6L is a high-dose vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) injection, commonly used to treat or prevent vitamin D deficiency in adults and children. Administered intramuscularly by a healthcare professional, this injection helps maintain healthy bones, muscles, and immune function by regulating calcium and phosphorus levels in the body.

• Treatment of vitamin D3 deficiency or insufficiency

• Management of conditions like osteoporosis, rickets, and osteomalacia

• Support in patients with malabsorption syndromes

• Adjunct in certain chronic kidney or liver diseases

Each Arachitol 6L ampoule contains:
6 lakh IU (International Units) of cholecalciferol in an oil-based solution.

Dosage and frequency are determined by a healthcare provider based on individual deficiency levels and response to treatment.

Arachitol 6L is used to treat or prevent severe vitamin D3 deficiency. It's often prescribed when oral supplementation isn't sufficient or practical.

It is given as an intramuscular injection—usually into the buttock or upper arm—by a trained healthcare professional. It should not be self-administered.

The frequency varies based on your lab test results and clinical needs. Common regimens include once a month or as a single high-dose injection, followed by maintenance doses.

Some people may experience:

• Pain or swelling at the injection site

• Nausea, vomiting

• Weakness, fatigue

• Hypercalcemia (excess calcium in the blood) in rare cases

Notify your doctor if you notice unusual symptoms after the injection.

Vitamin D is essential during pregnancy and lactation. However, Arachitol 6L should only be used under medical supervision in these cases to avoid overdose.

You should avoid additional vitamin D supplements unless directed by your doctor to prevent vitamin D toxicity.

If you've missed a scheduled injection, contact your healthcare provider to reschedule. Do not double up without medical advice.

A single dose can maintain adequate vitamin D levels for several weeks. The exact duration depends on your body's needs and underlying health conditions.
