ALFA D 20ML DROPS
-
Alfacalcidol, a synthetic vitamin D analog, exerts its therapeutic effects by mimicking the actions of naturally occurring vitamin D hormones in the body. Upon administration, alfacalcidol is rapidly converted in the liver to the active form of vitamin D, calcitriol. Calcitriol binds to vitamin D receptors (VDR) present in various target tissues, primarily the intestines, kidneys, and bones. This binding triggers a cascade of intracellular events, leading to increased intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate. In the kidneys, it promotes calcium reabsorption and enhances the production of active vitamin D. By regulating calcium and phosphate metabolism, alfacalcidol helps maintain proper bone mineralization, supporting bone health and treating conditions associated with calcium and vitamin D deficiencies.
