I'm low vitamin D too and just got prescribed 50,000 IU, now that I was told to take once a week. Will this really run out, I have a bunch in there so it should last several weeks.

It depends on your location and pharmacy. The good news is it builds up in your system over a period of time so if you stop taking it you can go a while before your levels are low again. I am a little worried about people thinking more is better and overdosing on it though. It's not like vitamin C and folic acid where you pee out the excess. It can cause problems.
