Why is Rocaltrol prescribed?

Rocaltrol is a synthetic form of vitamin D used to treat people on
dialysis who have hypocalcemia (abnormally low blood calcium levels) and
resulting bone damage. Rocaltrol is also prescribed to treat low blood calcium
levels in people who have hypoparathyroidism (decreased functioning of the
parathyroid glands). When functioning correctly, these glands help control the
level of calcium in the blood. Rocaltrol is also prescribed for hyper
parathyroidism ( increased functioning of the parathyroid glands) and resulting
bone disorders in people with kidney disease who are not yet on dialysis. Most
important fact about Rocaltrol While you are taking Rocaltrol, your doctor may
want you to follow a special diet or take calcium supplements This is an
important part of your therapy. On the other hand, too high a calcium level can
be harmful.

If you are already taking any medications containing calcium or
calcium supplements, make sure you doctor knows about it. Rocaltrol may also be
used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

Please consult your physician before taking any medication.
