I was taking vitamin D once a week 10,000 IU. I bought 1000 IU by mistake. What should I do?

If I take one pill a day, so 7000 IU per week, is that enough? And if I can take them once a week like before so 7 pills on Monday for example.

Hello Ma'am,
You can take 10 pills of 1000 IU per pill on Monday, just like that. This will replace your previous pills.
If you find that this is a lot of pills to swallow at once, you may as well take one 1000 IU pill a day on a regular basis. The difference between 7000 and 10,000 IU per week is not enough to make it noticeable (in 1 month, by the time you pass your bottle and don't go back to 10,000 IU per pill).
Good evening,
Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
