Meditrol is a prescription medicine containing calcitriol 0.25 micrograms, the active form of vitamin D. It is used under medical supervision to help the body absorb calcium and support healthy bone formation. Meditrol may be prescribed for conditions such as calcium deficiency, renal osteodystrophy associated with kidney disease, postmenopausal osteoporosis, hypoparathyroidism, and certain forms of rickets. The medicine is supplied as soft gelatin capsules and should be taken only in the dose prescribed by a doctor. Regular blood tests may be required to monitor calcium and phosphate levels, as excessive calcium can cause harmful effects. Patients should inform their doctor about other medicines, vitamin D supplements, kidney problems, pregnancy, or breastfeeding before use. Meditrol should not be used without professional medical advice.
