Alfacalcidol

Alfacalcidol is a medication related to vitamin D that helps your body absorb calcium and phosphate, essential for healthy bones. It is often prescribed for conditions like osteoporosis, chronic kidney disease, or certain bone disorders where vitamin D production is impaired. Unlike natural vitamin D, alfacalcidol is a synthetic form that is quickly activated in the body, providing a more direct way to support bone health and prevent deficiencies. It helps maintain proper calcium levels in the blood, which is crucial for strong bones and overall metabolic function.
