Hello, Rya! How are you?
She should take the one her doctor has prescribed. But the high dosage may cause some nausea and dizziness.
They are two different forms of Vitamin D and, at her age, there is likely good reason her doctor has specifically prescribed D2 and not D3.
Is she on any other medications?
Was this helpful?
