Pregnancy: Supravalvular aortic stenosis has been produced in fetuses by near-fatal oral doses of vitamin D in pregnant rabbits. There is no evidence to suggest that vitamin D is teratogenic in humans even at very high doses. Calcitriol (Rocaltrol) should be used during potential risk to the fetus.
