A member asked:
Is calcitriol or paricalcitol better for treating hypoparathyroidism? yes, hypo, not hyper.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Calcitriol: calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D used for treatment of hypocalcemia ( low calcium) associated with Hypoparathyroidism. Paraclcitriol is used for treatment of Hyperparathyroism associated with kidney failure. Very soon next year we may have a parathyroid hormone analauge to treat Hypoparathyroidism.
