Medicine Description diviton 200 iu
diviton d drops is a medication that contains cholecalciferol, a form of Vitamin D3, which plays a vital role in calcium and phosphorus homeostasis in the body. When ingested, cholecalciferol undergoes conversion in the liver to 25-hydroxyvitamin D, which is then further metabolized in the kidneys to its active form, calcitriol. Calcitriol enhances intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus from dietary sources, promotes osteoclast activity in bones to release calcium, and regulates parathyroid hormone secretion. This synergistic action helps maintain adequate serum calcium levels, thus supporting various physiological functions, including bone mineralization and neuromuscular function.
