Vitamin D deficiency: Treatment
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))

For osteomalacia and rickets — except when caused by malabsorption — treatment consists of oral doses of vitamin D or sources such as fish, liver, and processed milk. Exposure to sunlight is encouraged. For rickets refractory to vitamin D or in rickets accompanied by hepatic or renal disease, treatment includes 25-hydroxycholecalciferol, 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, or a synthetic analogue of active vitamin D. Replacement of deficient calcium and phosphorus also helps to eliminate most symptoms of rickets. Positioning or bracing may be used to reduce or prevent deformities; some skeletal deformities may require corrective surgery.
