During treament administration (can last up to 24 months)
Treatment compliance
During treatment administration (can last up to 24 months)
- +4 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Conventional vitamin D and calcium supplementation
ACTIVE COMPARATORConventional vitamin D and calcium supplementation with 2 daily OROCAL VITAMINE D3® (500 mg calcium/200 IU cholecalciferol) tablets.
vitamin D supplementation tailored to vitamin D deficiency
EXPERIMENTALConventional calcium supplementation with 2 daily OROCAL 500® (500 mg calcium) tablets to suck + vitamin D3 supplementation (UVÉDOSE®, cholecalciferol, 100 000 IU drinkable solution, 2 ml vial) whose schedule of administration depends on vitamin deficiency level: * 100 000 IU of vitamin D3 at D1, D15, D28 and D43 if 25OHD level \< 10 ng/mL * 100 000 IU of vitamin D3 at D1, D15, D28 if 10 ng/mL ≤ 25OHD level \< 20 ng/mL * 100 000 IU of vitamin D3 at D1 if 20 ng/mL ≤ 25OHD level \< 30 ng/mL
Interventions
Tablet to suck: calcium 500 mg bid, cholecalciferol 200 IU bid
