... a prescription vitamin d supplement once a week to get my levels up. I had a heart attack a year ago and am on Plavix 75mg. Lipitor 40mg. Ecotrin 81mg. and Valium 10mg 2X a day. Will the vitamin d supplements work well with these medications. Also I have read that I should take D2 and D3 supplements. Any suggestions on that?

I understand many doctors are checking their patients vit. D at the present time. I too had a low vit. D results. My Oncologist said with low vit. D you can lead you to a higher risk of osteoporosis, depression, heart disease and stroke, cancer, diabetes, parathyroid problems, and immune function. So that is the reason why I take it. I believe if I was you I would talk to your Pharmacy as they know your medical profile.
With a reading like yours I would really be happy my doctor cared enough to check my Vit. D.
