✅ Description:

Pack Image of Calcitrol 0.25 mcg Capsule
Calcitrol 0.25mcg Licap is used to treat & prevent Vitamin D deficiency. It contains vitamin D3, which is also known as cholecalciferol or cholecalciferol. Calcitrol 0.25mcg Licap is also used as supportive therapy for conditions such as osteoporosis. The bones become fragile due to low calcium levels in osteoporosis. Vitamin D is primarily responsible for maintaining normal levels of phosphorus and serum calcium in the blood by improving the small intestine's ability to absorb these minerals from the diet. It also speeds up the processes and increases calcium absorption from the kidneys. Take Calcitrol 0.25mcg Licap exactly as directed by your doctor. Consume the contents of the Calcitrol 0.25mcg Licap in milk or as directed by your doctor. If you have any allergic reactions after using it, consult your doctor. It should not be used in patients who have hypercalcemia, malabsorption syndrome, abnormal sensitivity to the toxic effects of vitamin D, or hypervitaminosis D.

✔️ Indication of Calcitrol 0.25mcg Licap

Calcitriol is used in the treatment of calcium deficiency and post-menopausal osteoporosis.

✔️ Pharmacology

Calcitriol is one of the most potent active metabolites of vitamin D3. It is synthesized in the kidneys from its precursor, 25-hydroxycholecalciferol, and plays a crucial role in:

  • Promoting intestinal absorption of calcium
  • Regulating bone mineralization
  • Maintaining calcium homeostasis by stimulating osteoblastic activity in the skeleton
✔️ Dosage & Administration of Calcitrol 0.25mcg Licap
  • Post-menopausal Osteoporosis: 0.25 mcg twice daily.
  • Renal Osteodystrophy (Dialysis Patients):
  • Initial dose: 0.25 mcg daily.
  • For patients with normal or slightly reduced calcium levels: 0.25 mcg every other day may suffice.

Hypoparathyroidism and Rickets:

  • Initial dose: 0.25 mcg/day, taken in the morning.
  • If no satisfactory response is observed within 2-4 weeks, the dose may be increased at 2-4 week intervals.

Use in Special Populations

  • Secondary Hyperparathyroidism (Pre-Dialysis):
  • Adults & Pediatric Patients (≥3 years): Initial dose of 0.25 mcg/day, may increase to 0.5 mcg/day if necessary.
  • Pediatric Patients (<3 years): 10-15 ng/kg/day.
  • Elderly: No dosage adjustment is required.

Overdosage can result in hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, and hyperphosphatemia. Treatment involves immediate discontinuation, a low-calcium diet, and withdrawal of calcium supplements.

  • The optimal dosage of Calcitriol is patient-specific and should be determined based on serum calcium levels.
✔️ Interaction
  • Thiazide Diuretics: Increase the risk of hypercalcemia.
  • Digitalis: Calcitriol dosage must be cautiously managed as hypercalcemia can precipitate cardiac arrhythmias.
  • Magnesium-containing Drugs (e.g., antacids): May lead to hypermagnesemia.
✔️ Contraindications
  • Hypersensitivity to any ingredient in Calcitriol.
  • All conditions are associated with hypercalcemia.
✔️ Pregnancy & Lactation
  • Pregnancy: There is no evidence of teratogenic effects in humans. Calcitriol should only be used during pregnancy if the benefits outweigh the risks.
  • Lactation: Safe for breastfeeding, but the calcium levels of both mother and infant should be monitored.
✔️ Precautions & Warnings
  • Hypercalcemia: Excessive Calcitriol dosage can induce hypercalcemia and, in some cases, hypercalciuria.
  • Digitalis Patients: Administer with caution due to the risk of cardiac arrhythmias.
  • Rebound Effect: Discontinuation should be gradual to avoid rebound hypercalcemia.
  • Vitamin D and Derivatives: Should be withheld during Calcitriol treatment.
  • Chronic Hypercalcemia: May result in generalized vascular calcification, nephrocalcinosis, and other soft-tissue calcifications.
✔️ Storage:

keep in a dry place away from light and heat. Keep out of the reach of children.
