Alphadol 0.25 mg contains Alfacalcidol, a potent synthetic derivative of Vitamin D. Unlike some forms of Vitamin D that require multiple conversions in the body, Alfacalcidol is readily activated by liver enzymes into calcitriol, which is the active form of Vitamin D3. This rapid conversion makes it particularly useful in conditions where the body’s natural ability to convert Vitamin D is impaired, such as in kidney disease.
Calcitriol plays a crucial role in maintaining calcium and phosphate homeostasis in the body. It promotes the absorption of dietary calcium and phosphorus from the intestines, helps regulate parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, and facilitates the mineralization of bones, thus contributing to strong and healthy bones and teeth.
Alphadol 0.25 mg is typically prescribed as a capsule and should be taken as directed by a healthcare professional, usually with food to enhance absorption. Regular monitoring of blood calcium and phosphate levels is often recommended during treatment to ensure optimal dosage and prevent complications like hypercalcemia (high calcium levels).
Common side effects can include rash, itching, abdominal pain, increased calcium levels in blood and urine, and increased phosphate levels in blood. More serious but less common side effects can involve nausea, vomiting, headache, muscle pain, fatigue, and in rare cases, calcinosis (calcium deposition in tissues).
It’s important to discuss your full medical history, including any kidney or liver conditions, allergies, and other medications you are taking, with your doctor before starting Alphadol 0.25 mg.
