ROCALTROL (Calcitriol (0.25mcg))

ROCALTROL CAP contains calcitriol, a form of vitamin D that plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy bones and calcium levels in the body. It is used to help manage specific conditions related to vitamin D deficiency, particularly in patients with kidney disease or those undergoing certain treatments. By supporting calcium absorption from the intestines and helping to regulate calcium levels in the blood, it can contribute to overall bone health and strength.

Calcitriol works by enhancing the body’s ability to absorb calcium and phosphate, essential minerals for bone formation and maintenance. By doing so, it helps in keeping bones strong and reducing the risk of bone-related issues that can arise due to deficiencies.

For optimal effectiveness, ROCALTROL CAP should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Consistency in usage is important, and patients are encouraged to adhere to their prescribed treatment plans. It is advisable to inform your healthcare provider about any other medications or supplements being taken, as certain substances may interact with calcitriol.

Some common, mild side effects may include nausea, constipation, or a metallic taste in the mouth. While these effects are generally not severe, it is essential to monitor how your body responds.
