Cerbios has been manufacturing and commercialising HPAPI derivatives of Vitamin D3 since 1993 and is continuously working to develop new products and improve their quality.
Doxercalciferol is a synthetic Vitamin D2 analogue undergoing metabolic activation in vivo to form 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2 (1α,25-(OH)2D2), a naturally occurring, biologically active form of Vitamin D2.
It regulates blood calcium at levels required for essential body functions, acting on bone cells (osteoblasts) to stimulate skeletal growth and on the parathyroid glands to suppress PTH synthesis and secretion.
USE
Doxercalciferol is used in secondary hyperparathyroidism in adult patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and adult patients with CKD on dialysis.
