The prescription is probably for a higher does than available OTC. I don't think the prescription for Vit D is too expensive. Have you checked with your pharm re cost?
I am another who had low blood levels of Calcium and D so my MD got me back on both again. Have heard reports of cardiac problems in women associated with supplimental Calcium, so cut back dose in half until I see my PCP again.
