Medicinal Benefits:

Alphadol-0.25 Capsule is used to treat low blood calcium and phosphate levels. It contains Alfacalcidol, a vitamin D analogue. It is used to treat vitamin D deficiency, renal osteodystrophy, hyperparathyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, hypocalcaemia, and rickets or osteomalacia.

It works by strengthening the bones by increasing the calcium and phosphate levels in the blood.
