How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Calcitriol). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Man's natural supply of vitamin D depends mainly on exposure to the ultraviolet rays of the sun for conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin to vitamin D 3 (cholecalciferol).
Vitamin D 3 must be metabolically activated in the liver and the kidney before it is fully active as a regulator of calcium and phosphorus metabolism at target tissues.
The metabolites of calcitriol are excreted primarily in feces.
Quoted from the prescribing label, sections “Mechanism of Action” and “Pharmacokinetics”. DailyMed · 2026-07-15
Safety of the active substance
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Calcitriol). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
- Calcitriol should not be given to patients with hypercalcemia or evidence of vitamin D toxicity.
- Use of calcitriol in patients with known hypersensitivity to calcitriol (or drugs of the same class) or any of the inactive ingredients is contraindicated.
