What is Calcitriol?
Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D3, crucial for the absorption of calcium and phosphate in the body, which are vital for maintaining healthy bones and teeth. It is commonly used in the treatment of conditions caused by low levels of calcium or phosphate, such as hypoparathyroidism, chronic kidney disease, and rickets. Calcitriol works by promoting calcium absorption in the intestines and retention at the kidneys, thus managing calcium levels in the bloodstream and bone metabolism.
