Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Calcitriol 20 Ng/0.2 ml Oral Solution (Vet) is a specially compounded medication designed to address various conditions related to calcium metabolism. This liquid formulation, intended for oral administration, contains one or more active ingredients dissolved in a suitable solvent. It offers accurate dosing and convenient delivery of medication, often used when a specific dosage strength or ease of swallowing is required.

Calcitriol, a synthetic form of vitamin D3, plays a crucial role in regulating calcium and phosphorus levels in the body. It enhances the absorption of calcium from the intestines, promotes the reabsorption of calcium from the kidneys, and stimulates the production of calcium in the bones.

This medication is used to treat hypercalcemia, a condition characterized by an abnormally high level of calcium in the blood. Calcitriol aids in reducing the blood calcium level by promoting the excretion of calcium from the kidneys.

It is also used to treat hypocalcemia, a condition where the blood calcium level is abnormally low. Calcitriol works by increasing the absorption of calcium from the intestines and boosting the production of calcium in the bones, thereby raising the blood calcium level.

It strengthens the bones by enhancing the absorption of calcium from the intestines and stimulating the production of calcium in the bones.

Furthermore, Calcitriol is used to treat vitamin D deficiency, a condition characterized by an abnormally low level of vitamin D in the body. It increases the body's vitamin D level by promoting the absorption of vitamin D from the intestines.

Calcitriol 20 Ng/0.2 ml Oral Solution (Vet) is a potent treatment for a variety of conditions related to calcium metabolism. For any queries about this formulation, please feel free to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Calcitriol 20 Ng/0.2 ml Oral Solution (Vet) is a liquid medication designed for oral administration. It is primarily used in the treatment of various conditions related to calcium and vitamin D imbalances in the body. These conditions include hypercalcemia, hypocalcemia, rickets, osteomalacia, and vitamin D deficiency.

Hypercalcemia, characterized by an abnormally high level of calcium in the blood, is managed with Calcitriol by increasing the excretion of calcium in the urine and decreasing its absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. Conversely, hypocalcemia, an abnormally low level of calcium in the blood, is treated by increasing the absorption of calcium from the gastrointestinal tract and boosting the production of proteins that bind calcium in the blood.

Rickets and osteomalacia, both conditions caused by a deficiency of vitamin D, are treated with Calcitriol by enhancing the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the gastrointestinal tract and increasing the production of proteins that bind calcium in the blood. Similarly, vitamin D deficiency is managed by increasing the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the gastrointestinal tract and boosting the production of proteins that bind calcium in the blood.

Calcitriol is a synthetic form of vitamin D3 that plays a crucial role in regulating calcium and phosphorus levels in the body. It achieves this by increasing the absorption of these minerals from the gastrointestinal tract, increasing the production of proteins that bind calcium in the blood, and regulating the activity of certain enzymes involved in bone metabolism.

If you have any questions about this formulation or how it treats these disease states, please feel free to reach out for more information.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Calcitriol 20 Ng/0.2 ml Oral Solution (Vet) is a prescription medication designed to address various conditions related to calcium metabolism. This includes hypercalcemia, hypocalcemia, rickets, osteomalacia, and vitamin D deficiency. The active ingredient, Calcitriol, functions by enhancing the absorption of calcium from the intestines, promoting the reabsorption of calcium from the kidneys, and increasing the mobilization of calcium from the bones. Additionally, it aids in regulating the production of parathyroid hormone, a key player in maintaining calcium levels in the body.

In the treatment of hypercalcemia, calcitriol is employed to decrease the calcium levels in the blood. It achieves this by promoting the excretion of calcium from the kidneys and reducing the absorption of calcium from the intestines.

Conversely, for hypocalcemia treatment, calcitriol is used to elevate the calcium levels in the blood. It accomplishes this by enhancing the absorption of calcium from the intestines and promoting the reabsorption of calcium from the kidneys.

For conditions such as rickets and osteomalacia, calcitriol is utilized to increase the levels of calcium and phosphorus in the bones. It does this by promoting the mobilization of calcium and phosphorus from the bones and enhancing the absorption of calcium from the intestines.

Lastly, in the case of vitamin D deficiency, calcitriol is used to boost the levels of vitamin D in the body. It achieves this by promoting the production of the active form of vitamin D, which is crucial in regulating calcium levels in the body.

If you have any queries about the workings of calcitriol or its administration, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
