Only for prescribing in primary and secondary care where OTC/prescribed colecalciferol is ineffective/intolerant/relatively contraindicated. This would therefore be restricted for patients with:
- impaired hepatic function (where AST/ALT is twice the upper limit of normal)
- malabsorption
- obesity
- where there is a need to raise vitamin D levels prior to starting bone-sparing treatment for osteoporosis
- where a specialist clinician recommends using Domnisol due to comorbidity/medicines which may be impacting the 25 hydroxylation of vitamin D
Prescribers will need to document the reason why colecalciferol is not suitable when prescribing Domnisol and this should be done on the prescription itself as well as the patient record.
