ROCALTROL

Rocaltrol® is the brand name for a synthetic form of calcitriol, a metabolite of vitamin D that occurs naturally in the human body. Calcitriol regulates the amount of calcium and phosphorus circulating in the bloodstream by enhancing their absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and promoting their release from bone. Evidence suggests that calcitriol may also act on the kidneys by preventing the excretion of calcium and phosphorus into the urine.
