	Ergocalciferol Tablets BP 0.25mg , SPC from the eMC
		Ergocalciferol appears to take slightly longer to act and slightly longer to cease acting than dihydrotachysterol, therefore it is even more important to avoid ergocalciferol overdosage than it is with the latter.
		Ergocalciferol is inactivated, probably through enzyme systems, by the continuous administration of anticonvulsants, for example by phenytoin.
		Ergocalciferol Tablets BP 0.25mg may be given to women in the third trimester of pregnancy if justified on medical grounds but the tablets should not be given to lactating mothers.

	eMJA: Vitamin D deficiency and multicultural Australia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		To the Editor: In a recent editorial, Mason and Diamond state that ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) is bioequivalent to cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) and that 1000 IU/day of ergocalciferol is sufficient for the treatment of vitamin D deficiency.
		The statement that ergocalciferol and cholecalciferol are bioequivalent in humans is made by most authoritative textbooks, based mainly on evidence from early studies of the antirachitic efficacy of ergocalciferol and cholecalciferol compounds, and contrasts with reduced efficacy of ergocalciferol in birds and monkeys.
		The possibilities of impaired detection of the 25-hydroxy metabolite of ergocalciferol by some assays,2 and perhaps a smaller rise in total 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations after low doses of ergocalciferol, should be borne in mind when monitoring therapy.

		The treatment of vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency when present in CKD patients is warranted since such therapy may reduce or prevent secondary hyperparathyroidism in the early stages of CKD, and decrease the incidence of hip fractures in patients with advanced CKD and in those treated with dialysis.

	NEJM -- Bone response to phosphate salts, ergocalciferol, and calcitriol in hypophosphatemic vitamin D-resistant rickets
		We treated 11 children with vitamin D-resistant rickets with a phosphate mixture either alone (1.2 to 3.6 g per day) or combined with ergocalciferol (vitamin D2, to 50 x 103 IU per day) or with calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, 0.25 to 1 microgram per day).
		Radiologic studies and bone histomorphometric analyses showed that phosphate (alone or with ergocalciferol) induced the mineralization of the growth plate but not of the endosteal bone surface.
		Combined calcitriol and phosphate therapy for a total of 2850 patient-days greatly improved the mineralization of trabecular bone.

	New Vitamin D2 Guidelines in Cystic Fibrosis Called Ineffective - CME Teaching Brief - MedPage Today
		In March, a consensus committee of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation published guidelines for monitoring and supplementing vitamin D in patients with cystic fibrosis, which suggested a repletion regimen using high-dose oral ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) when levels of the vitamin fall too low.
		Boyle and colleagues tested the suggested repletion regimen on 90 adults whose serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) -- the major circulating form of the vitamin -- were below a minimum of 30 nanograms per milliliter.
		He said dose-escalating studies may be needed, because it is possible that even the high recommended doses were too small.
