Is myopathy a side effect of VITAMIN D ? ( FactMed.com )

About this FactMed analysis covering adverse side effect reports of VITAMIN D patients who developed myopathy.

FactMed provides MD-approved analysis to help both patients, researchers, and physicians accurately assess the risk profile for more than 20,000 different pharmaceutical products. The below report offers compiled information from Food & Drug Administration and FactMed user submissions. Between January 2004 and October 2012, 45 individuals taking VITAMIN D reported myopathy to the FDA. A total of 36460 VITAMIN D drug adverse event reaction reports were made with the FDA during this time period. Often the FDA only receives reports of the most critical and severe cases; these numbers may therefore underrepresent the complication rate of the medication.

FDA Research Report

Introduction This page is designed to help you determine the relationship, if any, between VITAMIN D and myopathy. In doing so, we compare VITAMIN D with other drugs that cause myopathy, to help you evaluate whether or not VITAMIN D causes myopathy. Likewise, this page shows the most highly-reported side effects of VITAMIN D, so you can see if myopathy ranks among VITAMIN D's most well-known side effects.

CONCERN ALTERED VISUAL DEPTH PERCEPTION	There is a very strong correlation between vitamin d and depth perception. I am an immigrant to canada from india, where i never noticed any changes in my depth perception. But after moving to Canada, I realized the side effects of not getting enough vit. d. Being lactose tolerant I don't get enough vitamin d from my milk. So this whole month had been very gloomy, and I yesterday decided to buy some vitamin d supplements. To my surprise after consuming the supplement after an hour, my eyes suddenly started focusing very clearly on distant objects. I raised my head, and saw a city center tower yest, which was far far away from me. I think when we lack vitamin d, our eyes sub consciously stop focusing on distant objects, but after our levels are restored, they automatically begin to focus on distant objects.
