Deficiency of Vitamin D is highly prevalent in all sectors and regions of Pakistan. Its effects encompass multiple pluripotent physiological impacts on human body, including its classical action on bone health and immune modulation. Health care workers are routinely prescribing supplementations to correct the deficiencies. Different forms of Cholecalciferol are available in the market. It ranges from absorba liquids, drops, tablets, softgels to injectable and oral ampoules. Different delivery systems offer different advantages, challenges and efficacies specific to their specific pharmacokinetics. The aim of this study is to adapt the gold standard of research and to explore the comparative bioavailability and clinical efficacy of the two most commonly used forms of Cholecalciferol i.e. ampoules and softgel capsules.
