Rocaltrol Injection Overview
Calcitriol is a man-made active form of vitamin D. Most people get enough vitamin D from exposure to the sun and from fortified food products (such as dairy products, vitamins). Vitamin D helps control parathyroid hormone and the levels of certain minerals (such as calcium, phosphorus) that are needed for building and keeping strong bones. Before regular vitamin D can be used by the body, it needs to be changed to the active form by the liver and kidneys. Calcitriol is used in patients with kidney disease who can't make enough of the active form of Vitamin D. Rocaltrol Injection is also used to prevent and treat certain types of calcium/phosphorus/parathyroid problems that can happen with long-term kidney dialysis or hypoparathyroidism. Calcitriol is usually used along with specific diet recommendations and sometimes other medications.
How to Use Rocaltrol Injection
Take Rocaltrol Injection by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once daily. If you are using the liquid form, measure your dose with a special measuring spoon or device. Do not use a normal household spoon since you may not get the correct dose. Dosage of Rocaltrol Injection is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. Your doctor may start you on a low dose and adjust the dose slowly to find the best dose for you. Follow your doctor's directions carefully. Use Rocaltrol Injection regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. It is very important to follow the diet recommended by your doctor to get the most benefit from Rocaltrol Injection and to prevent serious side effects. Do not take other supplements/vitamins (such as calcium, vitamin D) unless ordered by your doctor. Certain medications (bile acid sequestrants such as cholestyramine/colestipol, mineral oil, orlistat) can decrease the absorption of vitamin D. Separate your doses of these medications as far as possible from your doses of calcitriol (at least 2 hours apart, longer if possible). It may be easiest to take calcitriol at bedtime if you are also taking these other medications. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about finding a good dosing schedule that will work with all your medications.
Rocaltrol Injection Precautions
Before taking calcitriol, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to other vitamin D products; or if you have any other allergies. Rocaltrol Injection may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details. Before using Rocaltrol Injection, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history,high calcium levels, heart disease (such as irregular heartbeat, coronary artery disease), kidney disease (such as kidney stones). Notify your doctor beforehand if you will be having surgery or will be confined to a chair/bed (immobile) for a long time. Being immobile for long periods of time increases your risk of side effects. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids unless otherwise directed by your doctor. During pregnancy, Rocaltrol Injection should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. It is unknown if Rocaltrol Injection passes into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Rocaltrol Injection Misdose
