Arachitol-6L (Vitamin D3 Ampoules) 600000IU/15MGX1ML

Arachitol-6L is used to treat vitamin D deficiency and related bone conditions. It helps in the absorption of calcium and phosphate, which are essential for bone health. Here are some of its key uses:

• Vitamin D Deficiency: Treats and prevents vitamin D deficiency due to lack of sun exposure, poor diet, or certain health conditions.
• Osteoporosis: Helps manage osteoporosis and other bone conditions by promoting bone mineralization and preventing bone thinning.
• Rickets and Osteomalacia: Addresses softening and weakening of bones due to vitamin D deficiency.
• Hypoparathyroidism: Supports the treatment of hypoparathyroidism by enhancing calcium absorption.
• Hypophosphatemia: Aids in the treatment of hypophosphatemia by improving phosphate absorption.

• Arachitol-6L works by enhancing the intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate, which are essential for bone health. Cholecalciferol, the active ingredient, is converted in the liver and kidneys to its active form, which helps the body absorb calcium and phosphate from the intestine, retain calcium in the kidneys, and release calcium from bones. This process supports bone mineralization and overall bone health.
