Meditrol 0.25mcg

Meditrol 0.25 mcg contains calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D, and is used for:

1. Hypocalcemia: To treat and prevent low levels of calcium in the blood, particularly in patients with chronic kidney disease or those undergoing dialysis.

2. Hypoparathyroidism: Helps manage conditions where the parathyroid glands produce insufficient amounts of parathyroid hormone, which affects calcium balance.

3. Bone Disorders: Used to manage bone diseases such as rickets and osteomalacia caused by vitamin D deficiency or metabolic issues.

Calcitriol increases calcium absorption from the intestine and helps regulate calcium levels in the body.
