About calcitriol

What is calcitriol?
Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D. It helps your body absorb calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for bone strength and maintaining normal calcium levels in the blood.
Calcitriol is often prescribed when the kidneys or parathyroid glands aren’t functioning properly, such as in chronic kidney disease or hypoparathyroidism.

It’s available in several forms:
• Oral capsules (0.25 mcg, 0.5 mcg)
• Oral solution (1 mcg/mL)
• Injectable solution for intravenous use (1 mcg/mL)
• Topical ointment for treating plaque psoriasis (3 mcg/g)
 
Brand names in the US include Rocaltrol and Vectical. Calcitriol works by increasing calcium transport and absorption in the intestines. Additionally, reduces calcium loss in urine and helps regulate parathyroid hormone levels.

How to get a calcitriol prescription online?

Follow these steps to get a calcitriol prescription through Klarity Health:

  • Book a virtual appointment with a licensed provider on Klarity
  • Complete a medical evaluation, including lab reviews and symptom discussion
  • Receive your prescription if deemed appropriate—it will be sent to your preferred pharmacy

How does calcitriol compare to other medications?

When choosing vitamin D treatments for low calcium or bone issues, here’s how calcitriol stacks up:

MedicationUse caseSide effectCost (generic)Administration
CalcitriolHypocalcemia associated-CKD, hyperparathyroidismModerate (hypercalcemia)Low (~$17/30)Oral capsule, oral solution
Calcitriol topicalPlaque psoriasisLow (skin irritation)ModerateOintment
Paricalcitol (Zemplar)Prevention and Treatment of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in CKDModerateHigherOral capsule, IV solution
Ergocalciferol (Vitamin D2)Vitamin D deficiencyLowVery lowOral capsule, oral solution, oral tablet

Calcitriol works quickly and is ideal for people who have low calcium due to kidney function or high parathyroid levels. However, it requires closer monitoring due to its higher risk of hypercalcemia. Other vitamin D forms are available; however, the onset and indications for use varies.
