Hello cici-

 

10 000 units of vit D per week , at least for the first couple months, would not be a toxic dose if you have low baseline vitamin D levels- Beyond that, it may actually be a bit high. A more standard dose is 600- 1000 units per day-

The below link quotes 2000 U per day as the maximal recommended , so taken daily rather than weekly, your amount should not be dangerous.

 

For calcium 1000 mg per day is indeed standard dosing and not abnormal.

I think the pharmacist may have made you more concerned than necessary- these doses are not very unusual. The other thing with calcium and vit D, is they are easily measured in blood tests- After being o your current dose for a few months, you should be retested.

 

Good luck.
