DATA SHEET 

CAL.D.FORTE 
(Colecalciferol 1.25mg) 

PRESENTATION 
Cal.D.Forte Tablets contain 1.25mg of colecalciferol. 
White, sugar-coated, 8mm, biconvex tablet_. _

USES 
ACTIONS:   
Colecalciferol is a vitamin D
compound which possesses the property of preventing 
or treating rickets.   

Vitamin D is essential for
promoting absorption and utilisation of calcium and 
phosphate and for normal
calcification of bone.  Along with parathyroid hormone and 
calcitonin, it regulates serum calcium concentrations
by increasing serum calcium 
and phosphate concentrations as needed.  Vitamin D stimulates
calcium and 
phosphate absorption from the small intestine and mobilises calcium from bone. 

Colecalciferol is transferred to the liver where it is
converted to calcifediol (25-
hydroxycolecalciferol), which is then transferred to the kidneys
and converted to 
calcitriol
(1,25-dihyroxycolecalciferol, thought to be the most active form)
and 24,25-
dihydroxycolecalciferol (physiologic role not determined).  

Calcitriol appears to act by binding to a specific receptor
in the cytoplasm of the 
intestinal
mucosa and subsequently being incorporated into the nucleus, probably 
leading to formation of the calcium-binding protein which results in increased 
absorption of calcium from the intestine.  Also, calcitriol
may regulate the transfer of 
calcium ion from bone and stimulate reabsorption of calcium in the distal
renal 
tubule, thereby effecting calcium homeostasis
in the extracellular fluid. 

ONSET OF ACTION 
– Hypercalcaemic: 12 to 24 hours; therapeutic
effect may take 10 to 
14 days. 

DURATION OF ACTION 
– Following oral
administration: up to 6 months; repeated doses 
have a cumulative action. 

PHARMACOKINETICS:   
Vitamin D substances are well absorbed from the gastrointestinal
tra
