Calcitriol is vitamin D3. Vitamin D is important for the absorption of calcium from the stomach and for the functioning of calcium in the body. Calcitriol is used to treat hyperparathyroidism (overactive parathyroid glands) and metabolic bone disease in people who have chronic kidney failure and are not receiving dialysis. Calcitriol is also used to treat calcium deficiency (hypocalcemia). The early signs and symptoms of vitamin D intoxication associated with hypercalcemia include: weakness, headache, somnolence, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, constipation, muscle pain, bone pain and metallic taste. Cholestyramine has been reported to reduce intestinal absorption of fatsoluble vitamins; as such it may impair intestinal absorption of Calcitriol. Ketoconazole may inhibit both synthetic and catabolic enzymes of calcitriol.

Calcium lactate is the salt that consists of two lactate anions for each calcium cation (Ca2+); this salt is used as a calcium supplement to treat hypocalcemia. However, as a source of free calcium, this salt is less convenient than calcium citrate. Calcium lactate inhalation powder also called as PUR118 participated in phase I clinical trials to determine whether this formulation was safe and tolerable in a population of subjects with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). PUR118 also was used in another clinical trials to evaluate its effect on ozone-induced airway Inflammation in healthy normal volunteers in case of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The obtained results revealed that PUR118 reduced the severity of acute exacerbations in COPD and CF and had the beneficial impacts on mortality, morbidity, and quality of life in affected individuals. However, both studies were discontinued.

Dihydrotachysterol (DHT) is a synthetic vitamin D analog activated in the liver that does not require renal hydroxylation like vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Dihydrotachysterol is used to treat hypocalcemia, hypoparathyroidism, and prevention of tetany. Dihydrotachysterol is hydroxylated in the liver to 25-hydroxy-dihydrotachysterol, which is the major circulating active form of the drug. Once hydroxylated to 25-hydroxy-dihydrotachysterol, the modified drug binds to the vitamin D receptor. The bound form of the vitamin D receptor serves as a transcriptional regulator of bone matrix proteins, inducing the expression of osteocalcin and suppressing synthesis of type I collagen. Dihydrotachysterol also increases renal phosphate excretion.

Boron gluconate is a boron-containing dietary supplement. Calcium salt of boron gluconate is used as a calcium supplement in veterinary to treat hypocalcemia (also called parturient paresis and commonly called milk fever) in cattle, sheep, and goat.

Calcium Fumarate is a calcium salt of fumaric acid, it can be used as a food supplement. Calcium Fumarate may be used to treat conditions caused by low Calcium levels such as bone loss (osteoporosis), weak bones (osteomalacia/rickets), decreased activity of the parathyroid gland (hypoparathyroidism), and a certain muscle disease (latent tetany). It may also be used in certain patients to make sure they are getting enough Calcium (e.g., women who are pregnant, nursing, or postmenopausal, people taking certain medications such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, or prednisone). Calcium Fumarate is classified by the FDA as a dietary and nutritional additive (21CFR§172.350) and has been used for many years.

Ketoconazole may inhibit both synthetic and catabolic enzymes of calcitriol.
