Pharmacodynamics
Vitamin D3 is an active anti-rachitic factor. The most important function of vitamin D3 is the regulation of calcium and phosphate metabolism, which contributes to proper mineralization and skeletal growth.
Vitamin D3 is the natural form of vitamin D found in animals and humans. Compared to vitamin D2, it is characterized by a higher activity (by 25%).
It is necessary for the functioning of the parathyroid glands, intestines, kidneys and the skeletal system. It plays a significant role in the absorption of calcium and phosphate from the intestines, in the transport of mineral salts and in the process of bone calcification, regulates the excretion of calcium and phosphate by the kidneys. The concentration of calcium ions affects a number of important biochemical processes that determine the maintenance of skeletal muscle tone, which are involved in the conduction of nervous excitation and affect blood clotting. Vitamin D3 is also involved in the functioning of the immune system, which affects the production of lymphokines.
The lack of vitamin D3 in food, the weakening of its absorption, calcium deficiency, as well as the lack of exposure to sunlight during the period of rapid growth of the child lead to rickets, and in adults – to osteomalacia, in pregnant women – to the appearance of symptoms of tetany and in the future – to non-formation tooth enamel in children.
Menopausal women with osteoporosis need to increase the dose of vitamin D3 due to hormonal disorders.
Indications
- Prevention of rickets;
- prevention of vitamin D3 deficiency in high-risk groups without malabsorption disorders;
- prevention of rickets in premature newborns;
- prevention of vitamin D3 deficiency in malabsorption;
- treatment of rickets and osteomalacia;
- supportive treatment of osteoporosis.

Pseudohypoparathyroidism (requirement for vitamin D may be lower than during normal vitamin sensitivity). Taking vitamin D can lead to the risk of overdose. In such situations, vitamin D in other dosage forms should be used in order to make it easier to control the concentration. The drug is contraindicated in patients with rare hereditary fructose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption or sucrose-isolmaltose deficiency.
