General Description |
Atocalcitol is a synthetic vitamin D3 analog that is primarily used for managing secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with kidney disease. It is also effective in treating osteoporosis, hypocalcemia, and other bone disorders linked to vitamin D3 deficiency. Atocalcitol functions by getting absorbed into the body and getting converted into its active form calcitriol, which then maintains a proper balance of calcium and phosphate in blood. By binding to the vitamin D receptors, it helps in the absorption of calcium in the intestines and kidneys, thus helping in maintaining bone health. However, caution should be exercised while using this drug as excess of it can lead to hypercalcemia. |
