What is Colecalciferol?

Colecalciferol, the active ingredient in Ibitred, is a Vitamin D presented as an oral supplement for oral use. It treats vitamin D deficiency and related bone disorders in individuals requiring supplementation.

GNH USA supplies Ibitred as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Colecalciferol used for?

Ibitred is a vitamin D supplement used to correct deficiencies and support bone health. - Vitamin D deficiency: restores normal serum 25‑hydroxyvitamin D levels. - Osteomalacia: promotes bone mineralization and reduces bone pain. - Rickets: aids in proper bone development in children.

What are the side effects of Colecalciferol?

Adverse reactions may occur with oral vitamin D supplementation.

Common Side Effects: - Hypercalcemia: elevated blood calcium levels. - Nausea: mild gastrointestinal upset. - Constipation: reduced bowel movements. - Dry mouth: reduced salivary flow. - Headache: mild to moderate head pain. - Fatigue: feeling of tiredness.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Hypercalciuria: excessive urinary calcium excretion. - Kidney stones: formation of calcium‑based calculi. - Severe hypercalcemia: may cause cardiac arrhythmia. - Allergic reactions: rash, itching, swelling. - Anaphylaxis: rare, life‑threatening hypersensitivity.

What precautions apply to Colecalciferol?

Vitamin D supplementation requires careful consideration of patient factors and proper handling. - Monitor serum calcium: check levels before and during therapy. - Assess baseline vitamin D status: measure 25‑hydroxyvitamin D. - Adjust dose in renal impairment: reduce to avoid accumulation. - Avoid concurrent high‑dose calcium supplements: risk of hypercalcemia. - Use caution in sarcoidosis or granulomatous diseases: increased conversion to active form. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in original container, protect from moisture and light.

What does Colecalciferol interact with?

Vitamin D can interact with several medicines, affecting calcium balance or vitamin D metabolism.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Thiazide diuretics: increase risk of hypercalcemia. - High‑dose calcium carbonate: may cause excessive calcium levels. - Vitamin A excess: potentiates toxicity. - Alendronate: may reduce absorption of vitamin D. - Rifampicin: accelerates vitamin D catabolism.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Anticonvulsants (phenytoin, phenobarbital): lower vitamin D levels. - Glucocorticoids: impair vitamin D activity. - Cholestyramine: reduces absorption of fat‑soluble vitamins. - Orlistat: decreases vitamin D uptake. - Loop diuretics: increase calcium excretion, may require monitoring.

Frequently asked questions

What is Ibitred used for?+
Ibitred contains colecalciferol, a form of vitamin D, and is used to treat vitamin D deficiency and related bone conditions such as osteomalacia and rickets by restoring normal serum vitamin D levels.
How does colecalciferol work in the body?+
Colecalciferol is converted in the liver and kidneys to the active hormone 1,25‑dihydroxyvitamin D, which binds to vitamin D receptors in the intestine, increasing the synthesis of calcium‑binding proteins and thereby enhancing calcium and phosphate absorption for bone mineralization.
What is the usual dose of Ibitred?+
The appropriate dose of Ibitred is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s serum vitamin D level, age, weight, and clinical condition. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not self‑adjust the dose.
