Thus, it is used in the treatment of calcium deficiency and postmenopausal osteoporosis.
Q. Is Calcitriol effective?
Calcitriol is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using Calcitriol too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.
Q. How should Calcitriol be taken?
Calcitriol should be taken in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food. However, it would be best to take it at the same time each day to avoid the chances of missing a dose.
Q. What if I forget to take a dose of Calcitriol?
If you forget a dose of Calcitriol, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next scheduled dose in the prescribed time. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.
