Product Overview
Alfacalcidol IP 0.25 mcg is a Vitamin D analogue formulation developed to support calcium and phosphate metabolism and maintain healthy bones under medical supervision. It is commonly used in conditions where the body requires additional active Vitamin D support, particularly when normal Vitamin D metabolism is impaired.
Alfacalcidol is converted in the liver into the active form of Vitamin D, which helps regulate calcium and phosphate levels in the body. By enhancing intestinal calcium absorption and supporting mineral balance, it contributes to normal bone formation, maintenance, and overall skeletal health.
The formulation may be prescribed for conditions associated with impaired calcium metabolism, Vitamin D deficiency, certain bone disorders, and kidney-related disturbances in calcium and phosphate balance. Treatment should be individualized based on the patient’s condition and laboratory values.
