Calcitriol (CALCITRIOL-0.25MCG) is the active form of vitamin D used to treat low blood calcium levels and related bone conditions. It helps manage weak or brittle bones, low parathyroid hormone levels, and certain muscle diseases, and is often prescribed for people with chronic kidney disease or metabolic bone disorders.

🩺 What Calcitriol Does

• It increases calcium absorption in the gut to raise blood calcium levels.
• Used for conditions like hypoparathyroidism, secondary hyperparathyroidism, and metabolic bone disease.
• Also given to pregnant, nursing, and postmenopausal women to support bone health.

🏥 How to Take Calcitriol

• Take with meals, preferably in the morning.
• If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible unless the next dose is near.
• Avoid taking other forms of vitamin D simultaneously unless directed by your doctor.

It is important to consult an endocrinologist or nephrologist for proper evaluation and dosing guidance when using calcitriol.
