WHAT ALFACIP CAPSULES IS USED FOR
Alfacalcidol
belongs
to
a
group
of
medicines called vitamin D analogues.
It is a type of vitamin D.
Vitamin D controls the levels of two
substances
in
your
body.
These
substances
are
called
calcium
and
phosphate. Your body needs both of
these substances for healthy bones and
teeth.
•
Low levels of calcium in the
blood
of
newborn
babies
(hypocalcaemia).
•
Softening
and
deformity
of
the
bones
due
to
lack
of
calcium
(rickets
or
osteomalacia).
HOW ALFACIP CAPSULES WORKS
Alfacalcidol works by increasing the
amount of vitamin D in your body.
This means the levels of calcium and
phosphate in your body will increase
too.
Alfacalcidol is used to treat diseases
where the amount of calcium in your
body
needs
changing.
It
is
used
to
treat:
•
Changes in bone caused by
kidney
failure
(osteodystrophy).
•
Changes to your parathyroid
glands.
These
are
small
glands
found
in
your
neck.
They make a substance called
the
parathyroid
hormone.
This changes the amount of
calcium in your body.
•
The
glands
may
make
the
amount
of
calcium
in
your
blood
too
high.
(hyperparathyroidism).
•
The
glands
may
make
the
amount
of
calcium
in
your
blood
too
low
(hypoparathyroidism).
