Vitamin D is a particularly important sterol hormone and its effects beyond bone
are increasingly recognized. Over the last decade clinical interest has grown in
vitamin D, with increased recognition of deficiency and hence increased
prescribing of vitamin D products. However, the increased prescription of vitamin
D has generally been met with unlicensed vitamin D products which potentially
expose the patient to clinical risk. This review discusses the issues relating to
the clinical use of unlicensed vitamin D products, safety concerns that may arise
from this, as well as discussing the medico-legal responsibilities of the
prescriber and dispenser.
