PROFICIENT RX LP
----------
VITAMIN D (ERGOCALCIFEROL CAPSULES, USP)

USP UNITS.
DESCRIPTION
Ergocalciferol Capsules, USP are a synthetic calcium regulator for
oral administration.
Ergocalciferol is a white, colorless crystal, insoluble in water,
soluble in organic solvents,
and slightly soluble in vegetable oils. It is affected by air and by
light. Ergosterol or
provitamin D is found in plants and yeast and has no antirachitic
activity.
There are more than 10 substances belonging to a group of steroid
compounds,
classified as having vitamin D or antirachitic activity.
One USP unit of vitamin D is equivalent to one International Unit
(IU), and 1 mcg of
vitamin D is equal to 40 USP Units.
Each capsule contains Vitamin D (Ergocalciferol) 1.25 mg equivalent to
50,000 USP Units
in an edible vegetable oil.
Ergocalciferol, also called vitamin D , is
9,10-secoergosta-5,7,10(19), 22-tetraen-3-ol,
(3β,5Z,7E,22_E_)-; (C

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
The in vivo synthesis of the major biologically active metabolites of
vitamin D occurs in

two steps. The first hydroxylation of ergocalciferol takes place in
the liver (to 25-
hydroxyvitamin D) and the second in the kidneys (to 1,
25-dihydroxyvitamin D). Vitamin
D metabolites promote the active absorption of calcium and phosphorus
by the small
intestine, thus elevating serum calcium and phosphate levels
sufficiently to permit bone
mineralization. Vitamin D metabolites also mobilize calcium and
phosphate from bone
and probably increase the reabsorption of calcium and perhaps also of
phosphate by
the renal tubules.
