Indications & Clinical Uses

Calcitriol capsules like ROCALTROL 0.5mcg are used to manage calcium levels in the body, particularly in patients with kidney disease or parathyroid disorders. They help the body absorb calcium from the diet and maintain proper bone health. This medication is also used to treat low blood calcium levels in individuals undergoing dialysis.

Side Effects

ROCALTROL 0.5mcg capsules work by increasing the absorption of calcium from the gastrointestinal tract and helping to regulate calcium and phosphate levels in the blood.

Avoid Interactions

Calcitriol may interact with other medications that affect calcium levels, such as thiazide diuretics or calcium supplements.
