When there is a disease, generally 4000 IU per day is enough; more than that, is dangerous (see the links above). And to maintenance, with 800-1000 IU per day is enough. But you don't have to worry since you are under medical control. |
Your first link says 800 to 1600 IU to prevent deficiency, and your second link doesn't say anything about dosage.
