Long-term, monthly, high-dose vitamin D3 supplementation did not prevent antibiotic prescribing in older adults, but the vitamin D group had fewer days per person-year on antibiotics. Further research is required to replicate these findings. This trial was registered at www.anzctr.org.au as ACTRN12611000402943.
