Brief Summary   A study to know the reduction in urticaria activity score (UAS7) following the administration of vitamin D along with standard treatment in comparison to only standard treatment at the end of 12 weeks and also the effect of Vitamin D supplementation on the reduction in medication dosage and quality of life scores in Chronic urticaria.

Vitamin D is an immunoregulatory hormone and represents a relatively safe and inexpensive supplement, with clinical evidence to support its consideration and use as supplement for patients with CU. Given the above, there is an obvious need for clinical studies to understand the clinical benefit of vitamin D. This is of particular relevance because the Indian population is reported to have a widespread prevalence of varying degrees (50–90%) of vitamin D deficiency.
