Frequently asked questions

What is Lampard used for?+
Lampard contains colecalciferol, a form of vitamin D, and is used to treat vitamin D deficiency, osteomalacia in adults, and rickets in children. By restoring adequate vitamin D levels, it supports normal calcium absorption and bone mineralisation.
How does colecalciferol work in the body?+
Colecalciferol is converted first in the liver to 25‑hydroxyvitamin D and then in the kidney to the active hormone 1,25‑dihydroxyvitamin D. This active form binds to vitamin D receptors in the intestine, increasing the synthesis of calcium‑binding proteins and enhancing calcium and phosphate absorption, which are essential for healthy bone formation.
What is the usual dose of Lampard?+
The appropriate dose of Lampard is determined by a prescriber based on the individual’s serum vitamin D level, age, weight, and clinical condition. Healthcare professionals tailor the regimen to achieve optimal vitamin D status while minimizing the risk of excess calcium.
Is Lampard safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for colecalciferol in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should discuss use with their healthcare provider, who will weigh potential benefits against any uncertain risks before recommending the supplement.
How do I order Lampard from GNH USA?+
To order Lampard, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Lampard compare with other vitamin D products?+
Lampard provides colecalciferol, the same vitamin D3 form found in most oral supplements. Compared with vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), vitamin D3 has a longer half‑life and is generally considered more effective at raising and maintaining serum 25‑hydroxyvitamin D concentrations.
What are the storage requirements for Lampard?+
Store Lampard at ambient temperature, below 25 °C. Keep the product in its original packaging, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed to maintain stability.
How is Lampard administered?+
Lampard is taken orally, usually with or without food, as directed by a healthcare professional. The tablet or capsule should be swallowed whole with a glass of water unless otherwise instructed.
What are the most serious risks associated with Lampard?+
The most serious risk is hypercalcemia, which can lead to kidney stones, cardiac arrhythmias, or soft‑tissue calcification. Signs include excessive thirst, frequent urination, nausea, and muscle weakness. If these symptoms occur, discontinue use and seek medical attention promptly.
Who should not use Lampard?+
Individuals with known hypersensitivity to colecalciferol or any excipients in the product should avoid Lampard. Patients with severe hypercalcemia, hypervitaminosis D, or certain granulomatous diseases should not use it without close medical supervision.
