Recently Drs. Beer and David Henner from the OHSU [Oregon Health & Science University] discovered that high doses could be administered safely using weekly oral administration. They described this as high dose pulse administration(HDPA). Using this regimen and a commercially available calcitriol product, over 90 patients with cancer have received and tolerated doses that were 60-100 times the currently approved dose.

Vitamin D3(cholecalciferol) must be metabolized in the liver and the kidneys before it is fully active on its target tissues. Calcitriol(1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol) is the major active metabolite.

  • Médicaments
CONT

La vitamine D3 (cholécalciférol) doit être métabolisée dans le foie et le rein avant de pouvoir exercer pleinement son action sur les tissus cibles. Le calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxycholécalciférol) est le métabolite actif.

CONT

[Le] calcitriol est une forme active de la vitamine D3 qui fait courir un risque d'effets indésirables sur le métabolisme du calcium. Par contre le calcipotriol est un analogue de la vitamine D3 et paraît plus efficace que le valérate de bétaméthasone.
