Abstract
There is a global secular trend of increases in 25-OHD over years. There is a disturbing trend of increased hypervitaminosis D at an Indian institute. Empiric, unmonitored, prolonged vitamin D supplementation, using non-recommended supraphysiological doses, especially when administered intramuscularly, should be discouraged.
