Uses of Rocaltrol Soft Gelatin Capsule
Benefits of Rocaltrol Soft Gelatin Capsule
Treatment of Metabolic Bone disease
Rocaltrol Capsule helps treat metabolic bone diseases by correcting abnormalities in calcium and phosphate balance and improving bone mineralisation. In renal osteodystrophy and secondary hyperparathyroidism due to chronic kidney disease, it improves calcium absorption, corrects hypocalcaemia, and lowers elevated parathyroid hormone levels, helping reduce bone pain and skeletal changes. In hypoparathyroidism and rickets, it restores calcium and phosphate levels, supporting normal bone development and strength. In post-menopausal osteoporosis, it increases calcium absorption and supports bone mineral density, helping reduce the risk of vertebral fractures.

How Rocaltrol Soft Gelatin Capsule works
Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D that binds to vitamin D receptors in the intestine, bone, and kidneys to regulate calcium and phosphate homeostasis. It increases intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate, supports normal bone mineralization, and corrects hypocalcemia. In conditions such as chronic kidney disease, where endogenous calcitriol production is reduced, supplementation helps normalize parathyroid hormone levels and improve metabolic bone abnormalities
