DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
The optimal daily dose of Rocaltrol must be
carefully determined for each patient on the basis of
the serum calcium level. Rocaltrol therapy should
always be started at the lowest possible dose and
should not be increased without careful monitoring
of serum calcium
_(see below, Patient monitoring)._
A prerequisite for optimal effi cacy of Rocaltrol is
adequate but not excessive calcium intake at the
beginning of therapy. Calcium supplements may be
necessary and should be administered according to
local guidelines.
Because of improved calcium absorption from the
gastrointestinal tract, some patients on Rocaltrol
may be maintained on a lower calcium intake.
Patients who tend to develop hypercalcemia may
require only low doses of calcium or no
supplementation at all.
_Patient monitoring_
During the stabilization phase of treatment with
Rocaltrol, serum calcium levels should be checked
at least twice w
