CALCITRIOL-0.25MCGOther cardiac arrhythmias
Severe
How does the disease interact with Iwitrol Tablet:
Vitamin D analogues work to raise serum calcium levels and can make arrhythmias worse, especially in people on cardiac glycosides.

How to manage the interaction:
Iwitrol Tablet increases serum calcium concentrations and may worsen arrhythmia, particularly in patients receiving cardiac glycosides. Iwitrol Tablet should be administered cautiously in patients with arrhythmia. Monitoring of serum electrolyte concentrations and cardiac function is advised.

Medicinal Benefits

Iwitrol Tablet effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, such as osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia/rickets (weak bones), hypoparathyroidism (low levels of parathyroid hormone), and latent tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels). Iwitrol Tablet can also be given to pregnant, nursing, and postmenopausal women to ensure that they are getting enough calcium. Additionally, Iwitrol Tablet is used to treat hyperparathyroidism (overactive parathyroid glands) and metabolic bone disease in people with chronic kidney disease, surgery, or other conditions.

About Iwitrol Tablet

Iwitrol Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called ‘vitamin D metabolites’ primarily used to treat low blood calcium levels. Iwitrol Tablet effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, such as osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia/rickets (weak bones), hypoparathyroidism (low levels of parathyroid hormone), and latent tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels). Iwitrol Tablet can also be given to pregnant, nursing, and postmenopausal women to ensure that they are getting enough calcium. Additionally, Iwitrol Tablet is used to treat hyperparathyroidism (overactive parathyroid glands) and metabolic bone disease in people with chronic kidney disease, surgery, or other conditions.

Iwitrol Tablet contains Calcitriol (Vitamin D3); it is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It is an essential nutrient to maintain bone formation and maintenance. Calcitriol is a synthetic version of Vitamin D3 and treats calcium deficiency with hypoparathyroidism (the parathyroid gland's decreased activity) and metabolic bone diseases in people with chronic kidney failure. It raises Vitamin D levels and thereby increases calcium levels in the blood. This helps in improving the absorption rate of calcium from the intestine.

Take Iwitrol Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Iwitrol Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, Iwitrol Tablet can cause side effects like constipation or stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, mood changes, weakness, tiredness, fast or pounding heartbeat, bone/muscle pain, and headache. Most of these side effects of Iwitrol Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Iwitrol Tablet or its inactive components, please inform your doctor. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Iwitrol Tablet . Higher doses of Vitamin D than the recommended daily dose should be used in pregnant women only when advised by the doctor. Iwitrol Tablet may pass into the breast milk, hence breastfeeding mothers need to seek medical advice before starting Iwitrol Tablet . Do not take Iwitrol Tablet if you have hypercalcemia (high calcium levels), hypervitaminosis D (high vitamin D levels), and malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food). Inform your doctor if you have any heart/kidney/liver/blood vessel diseases, kidney stones, sarcoidosis (growth of inflammatory cells in different parts of the body), Crohn's disease (inflammatory bowel disease), Whipple's disease (bacterial infection affecting joints and digestive system), achlorhydria (little or no stomach acid), low levels of bile, and phosphate imbalance.
