Doxferol D2 Tablet is used to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic renal disease patients with or without dialysis therapy. Secondary hyperparathyroidism occurs when the parathyroid glands enlarge and produce an excessive amount of PTH, resulting in a high PTH level in the blood.

Doxferol D2 Tablet contains Doxercalciferol. It promotes the body's consumption of calcium from food or supplements, as well as the management of parathyroid hormone synthesis.

It's available on prescription; take it as directed by your physician. Sometimes, you may experience certain common side effects, including headache, dizziness, heartburn, sleep disorders, joint pain, and weight gain. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult a doctor.

Secondary hyperparathyroidism: Secondary hyperparathyroidism occurs when the parathyroid glands enlarge and produce excessive PTH, resulting in a high PTH level in the blood. There are various reasons why this occurs in kidney disease patients: Higher blood phosphorus levels, the inability of the kidneys to produce active vitamin D (required for calcium absorption), and lower blood calcium levels.
