PHARMACODYNAMICS
-
_Calcium:_ Corrects an insufficient intake of calcium in the diet. The
commonly
accepted requirement of calcium in the elderly is 1500 mg/day.
-
_Vitamin D_
_3_
: Corrects an insufficient intake of vitamin D and increases
intestinal
absorption of calcium. The optimal amount of vitamin D in the elderly
is 500 -
1000 IU/day.
-
Administration of calcium and vitamin D
3
counteracts the increase of parathyroid
hormone
(PTH)
which
is
caused
by
calcium
deficiency
and
which
causes
increased bone resorption.
PHARMACOKINETICS
ABSORPTION
-
Calcium is absorbed from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract by active
transport and
passive diffusion. Calcium is actively absorbed in the duodenum and
proximal
jejunum and, to a lesser extent, in the more distal segments of the
small
intestine. The degree of absorption depends on a number of factors;
calcium is
never completely absorbed from the intestine.
-
Vitamin D is easily absorbed in the small intestine.
DISTRIBUTION AND METABOLISM
-
99% of the calcium in the body is concentrated in the hard structure
of bones and
teeth. The remaining 1% is present in the intra- and extracellular
fluids. About
50% of the total blood-calcium content is in the physiologically
active ionised
form with approximately 10% being complexed to citrate, phosphate or
other
anions, the remaining 40% being bound to proteins, principally
albumin.
-
Vitamin D and its metabolites circulate in the blood bound to a
specific globulin.
Cholecalciferol is conve
