About Ritocal CT 0.25mcg Tablet
Ritocal CT 0.25mcg Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called 'vitamin D metabolites' primarily used to treat low blood calcium levels. Ritocal CT 0.25mcg Tablet effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, such as osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia/rickets (weak bones), hypoparathyroidism (low levels of parathyroid hormone), and latent tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels).

Ritocal CT 0.25mcg Tablet contains Calcitriol (Vitamin D3); it is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It is an essential nutrient to maintain bone formation and maintenance.
