Calcitriol

CALCITRIOL is a man-made form of vitamin D. It helps your body keep the proper levels of calcium and phosphorus and maintain healthy bones and teeth.
It raises Vitamin D levels in your blood. This, in turn, raises calcium levels in your blood by helping you absorb more calcium from your intestine

Uses

Calcitriol is a synthetic version of Vitamin D3 used to treat calciumdeficiency with hypoparathyroidism (decreased functioning of the parathyroid glands) and metabolic bone disease in people with chronic kidney failure.
Calcitriol is used in the treatment of calcium deficiency and postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Calcium Acetate

Calcium acetate is a natural mineral that works by holding onto phosphate from the diet so that it can pass out of your body.
Calcium acetate helps reduce phosphate levels in people with advanced kidney disease.
People with advanced kidney failure retain phosphate leading to too much phosphate in their bodies (hyperphosphatemia). High phosphate levels cause hyperparathyroidism, which leads to abnormal bone formation and calcium deposits in tissues.
Calcium acetate is a phosphate binder. Calcium acetate, when taken with meals, combines with phosphate in food to form calcium phosphate, which is poorly absorbed into the body and is excreted in the feces.
Binding phosphate in the intestines reduces absorption of phosphate into the body.

Uses

Calcium acetate is used to prevent high blood phosphate levels in patients who are on dialysis due to severe kidney disease.
Dialysis removes some phosphate from your blood, but it is difficult to remove enough to keep your phosphate levels balanced.
Decreasing blood phosphate levels can help keep your bones strong, prevent unsafe buildup of minerals in your body, and possibly decrease the risk of heart disease and strokes that can result from high phosphate levels.

Stomach upset may occur. If this effect persists or worsens, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
