Rocaltrol Information

Rocaltrol (Calcitriol) is primarily used to manage low blood calcium (hypocalcemia) and associated metabolic bone disease in patients with chronic kidney failure or hypoparathyroidism. People with chronic kidney disease or those on dialysis often can't convert sufficient vitamin D to its active form, leading to low blood calcium. It is also used to prevent brittle bones and other bone problems, which may occur in individuals with overproduction of parathyroid hormone due to chronic kidney disease and low calcium. It is also used in individuals with low calcium levels due to low parathyroid hormone levels (hypoparathyroidism) or after surgical removal of the parathyroid gland. It may also be used in postmenopausal osteoporosis to enhance calcium absorption from food.

The active ingredient in Rocaltrol is calcitriol, a potent synthetic version of the naturally occurring hormone 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. It is a powerful vitamin D analogue that bypasses renal activation of vitamin D, which is crucial because, in advanced kidney disease, the kidneys can no longer perform this conversion. This deficiency in vitamin D causes low blood calcium, which often leads to renal osteodystrophy, a condition in which the body, deprived of calcium, begins extracting minerals from the bones, making them brittle and prone to fracture. Calcitriol works by binding to vitamin D receptors in the intestines and bones. This action stimulates the active transport of calcium and phosphate across the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream. Restoring these levels helps suppress the overproduction of parathyroid hormone, which otherwise triggers bone destruction.
