Dihydrotachysterol is effective in the elevation of serum calcium by stimulating intestinal calcium absorption and mobilizing bone calcium in the absence of parathyroid hormone and of functioning renal tissue[1].
Dihydrotachysterol also increases renal phosphate excretion[1].
Dihydrotachysterol is a potent synthetic vitamin D analogue that is widely available but more expensive than vitamin D2. It has an onset of action and half-life between those of vitamin D2 and calcitriol. Dihydrotachysterol (initially given at 0.03 to 0.08 mg/kg/day for 2 to 3 days. The final dosages range from 0.004 to 0.04 mg/kg/day) is useful for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism[2].
