Description

Alfacalcidol is a vitamin D analog that requires 25-hydroxylation to become the active hormonal form of vitamin D3. Alfacalcidol is clinically used to treat osteoporosis, hyperparathyroidism, and renal bone disease. As an anti-osteoporotic, alfacalcidol increases bone strength and formation and displays anti-catabolic and anabolic effects on bone in vivo.
