What is Paricalcitol?

Paricalcitol is a generic prescription drug that treats overactive parathyroid glands (hyperparathyroidism) due to later-stage kidney disease. The tiny parathyroid glands in the neck produce hormones that regulate the body's use of calcium. When there are too many parathyroid hormones in the body, they absorb calcium out of the bones and into the bloodstream. Patients with overactive parathyroid glands suffer from bone loss, bone weakness, fractures, muscle pain, bone pain, high blood calcium, and painful calcium crystals forming in the joints and soft tissues.

Paricalcitol is a man-made form of vitamin D3. Paricalcitol reduces the production of hormones by the parathyroid and also helps the body use excess calcium in the bloodstream.

Paricalcitol is administered as an injection or liquid capsule.
