Kalcord 0.25mcg Capsule

About

Kalcord Capsule contains the active ingredient calcitriol and is used to manage various conditions related to calcium and bone metabolism. It helps regulate calcium and phosphorus levels, promote bone health, and support overall bodily functions. This medication is prescribed for conditions such as hypocalcemia (low blood calcium), hypoparathyroidism (low parathyroid hormone), chronic kidney disease, osteoporosis (weak bones), rickets, osteomalacia (soft bones), psoriasis, and secondary hyperparathyroidism (calcium imbalance). It also assists in managing parathyroid hormone levels and related complications, and may contribute to immune support, cancer prevention, heart health, diabetes management, mood regulation, muscle strength, and certain autoimmune disorders.

Kalcord Capsule should not be used by individuals with known hypersensitivity to calcitriol or any of its components. It is also contraindicated in patients with hypercalcemia (high blood calcium), vitamin D toxicity, malabsorption syndromes, or elevated levels of vitamin D metabolites. In children, it may be prescribed for conditions such as rickets or growth issues, while in older adults, it can help maintain bone health and prevent fractures. In both groups, dosage and monitoring should be carefully managed by healthcare professionals to ensure safe and effective use.
