Vitamin D Injection Consent Form
Disclaimer:
This consent form is designed to provide a written confirmation of the discussions you have had with your healthcare provider regarding your treatment with Vitamin D injections.
Treatment Information:
Vitamin D is essential for bone health, immune system function, and overall well-being. Your healthcare provider has recommended Vitamin D injections because your current levels of Vitamin D are lower than what is considered healthy and oral supplementation might not be adequate in your situation.
Potential Risks and Side Effects:
While Vitamin D injection is generally considered safe, it's important to understand that it may cause side effects in some individuals. These may include but are not limited to:
- Pain, swelling, or redness at the injection site
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Constipation
- Fatigue
In rare cases, high levels of Vitamin D can lead to a condition known as hypercalcemia, which can cause confusion, disorientation, and problems with heart rhythm.

- any uncertainties about and the likelihood of success of the procedure
- any follow-up treatment that may be required
CLINICAL PHOTOS AND VIDEOS: I agree to and authorise the taking of clinical photographs and videos. I understand that these clinical photographs and videos will form part of and will be kept with my confidential medical records.
I have been asked what information I want and would need in order to make an informed decision. I have been given the opportunity to discuss my desired outcome fully in order for me to make an informed decision.
