Calcitriol is vitamin D3. Vitamin D is important for the absorption of calcium from the stomach and for the functioning of calcium in the body. Calcitriol is used to treat overactive parathyroid glands and metabolic bone disease in people who have chronic kidney failure and are not receiving dialysis. Calcitriol is also used to treat calcium deficiency and metabolic bone disease in people who are receiving dialysis. Calcitriol is also used to treat calcium deficiency in people with hyperparathyroidism caused by surgery, disease, or other conditions. Calcitriol is usually used along with specific diet recommendations and sometimes other medications.

Calcitriol, also known as the prescription drug Rocaltrol, is a synthetic drug that is part of the vitamin D family. This drug is specifically labeled as vitamin D3. It helps to absorb calcium in the stomach for use within the body. This drug is used by people who have calcium deficiencies caused by hyperparathyroidism and bone disorders caused by kidney failure. Calcitriol is a man-made active form of vitamin D. Most people get enough vitamin D from exposure to the sun and from fortified food products. Vitamin D helps control parathyroid hormone and the levels of certain minerals that are needed for building and keeping strong bones. Calcitriol is used in patients with kidney disease who can't make enough of the active form of Vitamin D.

Informations of Calcitriol

Calcitriol is also famous as bioactive vitamin D is a steroid hormone playing important role in regulating body levels of calcium and phosphorus, and in mineralization of bone. The receptors for vitamin D are present in a wide variety of cells, and that this hormone has biologic effects other than mineral metabolism. Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol is generated in the skin of animals when light energy is absorbed by a precursor molecule 7-dehydrocholesterol.Vitamin D, as either D3 or D2, does not have significant biological activity. It must be metabolized within the body to the hormonally-active form known as 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol.

Calcitriol is available as a capsule, an oral liquid, and as an injection. It is generally very well tolerated. The primary side effect is too much calcium in the blood, called hypocalcaemia, which can be prevented with close monitoring of blood calcium levels. Common signs of hypocalcaemia include nausea and vomiting, constipation, drowsiness, decreased reflexes, weakness, increased urination, loss of appetite, and weight loss. Calcitriol increases levels of calcium in the blood in three different ways. The most important is increasing dietary calcium absorption from the small intestines. Calcitriol cannot be given to
patients with elevated serum calcium levels and monitoring is necessary to make sure serum calcium levels do not rise. Calictriol cannot be used in patients that have an elevated (greater than 6 mg/dl) plasma phosphorus level. Calicitriol might elevate phosphorus further at this stage which is exactly what we do not want.
