Before you begin taking a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should take D Flavone Vitamin D Supp (Vitamin-d3).
Abnormal heart rhythms: D Flavone Vitamin D Supp (Vitamin-d3) can cause abnormal heart rhythms. Certain medications (e.g., Sotalol, quinidine, thioridazine, Chlorpromazine, pimozide, moxifloxacin, Mefloquine, pentamidine, probucol, Tacrolimus) can increase the risk of a type of abnormal heart rhythm called QT prolongation, and should not be used in combination with lopinavir - ritonavir. You are more at risk for this type of abnormal heart rhythm and its complications if you:
- are female
- are older than 65 years of age
- have a family history of sudden cardiac death
- have a history of heart disease or abnormal heart rhythms
- have a slow heart rate
- have congenital prolongation of the QT interval
- have Diabetes
- have had a Stroke
- have low potassium, magnesium, or calcium levels
- have nutritional deficiencies
If you have heart disease and abnormal heart rhythms, or are taking certain medications (e.g., Verapamil, atazanavir), discuss with your doctor how D Flavone Vitamin D Supp (Vitamin-d3) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of D Flavone Vitamin D Supp (Vitamin-d3), and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Alcohol content: The liquid form of lopinavir - ritonavir contains alcohol. If you have decreased kidney or liver function, a history of Alcoholism, Epilepsy or a brain injury, or are pregnant or a child, D Flavone Vitamin D Supp (Vitamin-d3) may not be appropriate for you. Talk to your doctor if you have concerns.
Blood tests: Lopinavir - ritonavir can cause changes in your blood test results, such as red blood cell count, platelet count, cholesterol level, and sugar level. Your doctor will explain these to you and monitor your blood levels.
Diabetes: Antiretroviral medications such as lopinavir - ritonavir may cause diabetes or increase blood sugar levels. If you have diabetes, discuss with your doctor how D Flavone Vitamin D Supp (Vitamin-d3) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of D Flavone Vitamin D Supp (Vitamin-d3), and whether any special monitoring is required.

Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome: D Flavone Vitamin D Supp (Vitamin-d3) may cause immune reconstitution syndrome, where signs and symptoms of inflammation from previous infections appear. These symptoms occur soon after starting anti-HIV medication and can vary. They are thought to occur as a result of the immune system improving and being able to fight infections that have been present without symptoms (such as pneumonia, herpes, or Tuberculosis). Report any new symptoms to your doctor immediately.
Liver problems: Decreased liver function or liver disease can cause lopinavir - ritonavir to build up in the body and may cause side effects. D Flavone Vitamin D Supp (Vitamin-d3) may also cause liver problems. People with liver disease or decreased liver function should discuss with their doctor how D Flavone Vitamin D Supp (Vitamin-d3) may affect their medical condition, how their medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of D Flavone Vitamin D Supp (Vitamin-d3), and whether any special monitoring is needed.
If you experience symptoms of liver problems (e.g., abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, feeling unwell, fever, itching, yellowing of the skin and eyes, dark urine), contact your doctor immediately.
Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas): Lopinavir - ritonavir may cause or worsen pancreatitis. If you have a history of or are at risk for developing pancreatitis, you should be closely monitored by your doctor while taking D Flavone Vitamin D Supp (Vitamin-d3).

The oral solution should not be used during pregnancy due to the alcohol and propylene glycol content.
Breast-feeding: It is not known if lopinavir - ritonavir passes into breast milk. Women who have HIV infection should not breast-feed because of the risk of passing HIV to a baby who does not have the infection.
Children: The safety and effectiveness of D Flavone Vitamin D Supp (Vitamin-d3) have not been established for children younger than 6 months. D Flavone Vitamin D Supp (Vitamin-d3) is not recommended for this age group.
