Alfacalcidol Soft Gelatin Capsules 0.25 mcg

Gel
10's

Alfacalcidol Soft Gelatin Capsules (0.25 mcg) is an oral synthetic prodrug of active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol) on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. It possesses 1-alpha hydroxylation and requires only hepatic 25-hydroxylation (by CYP2R1) to become fully active calcitriol, completely bypassing the renal 1-alpha-hydroxylase step which is impaired in renal disease. It binds to the Vitamin D Receptor (VDR), powerfully stimulating intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate, suppressing parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion, and promoting bone mineralization. Indicated for renal osteodystrophy in chronic kidney disease, hypocalcemia in hypoparathyroidism, nutritional/malabsorptive rickets, and postmenopausal osteoporosis.
