ERGOCALCIFEROL (VITAMIN D2)
CALCITRIOL

VITLIPID N ADULT (fat emulsions/vitamin A palmitate/vitamin D2/vit E/vit K1)
The vitamin D therapeutic drug class comprises fat-soluble secosteroid compounds and analogs, most notably ergocalciferol and cholecalciferol, that function as essential hormonal precursors in mineral homeostasis.
Agents in this class undergo sequential hepatic and renal hydroxylation into biologically active forms that bind intracellular vitamin D receptors, enhancing intestinal absorption and renal reabsorption of calcium and phosphate while regulating bone remodeling.
Clinically, these agents are primarily indicated for the prevention and treatment of nutritional rickets, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, hypocalcemia associated with hypoparathyroidism, and metabolic bone disease secondary to chronic kidney disease.
