What is Dihydrotachysterol
Dihydrotachysterol is an oral vitamin D analog. Many vitamin D analogs are commercially available, but the responsiveness of various conditions differs based on the pharmacologic properties of each vitamin D analog.
Dihydrotachysterol is more expensive than ergocalciferol; however, it is preferred over ergocalciferol in patients with renal failure because of impaired synthesis of ergocalciferol to its most active form by the kidneys.
Dihydrotachysterol is indicated in hypocalcemia associated with hypoparathyroidism and chronic or idiopathic tetany.
Dihydrotachysterol was approved prior to 1982.
