Yes, vitamin D can be taken along with Zorotab. Vitamin D is generally advised to be taken as a supplement with Zorotab as the long term use of Zorotab decreases the absorption of calcium and may lead to calcium deficiency. This can lead to osteoporosis (thinning of bones) and increase the risk of bone fractures like hip, wrist and spine fractures. Please consult your doctor to know about ways to prevent this.
