  • Description



Why is Drisdol prescribed?

Ergocalciferol (Drisdol) is prescribed for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism (a condition where the parathyroid glands produce inadequate amounts of parathyroid hormone), refractory rickets (a condition where bones become soft and do not respond to treatment), and low levels of phosphate in the blood.

What does it do?

Ergocalciferol is classified as a vitamin D analog. It helps your small intestine absorb more calcium and phosphorus from the food or supplements you intake to help your bones become stronger.

How should I take it?

Drisdol is available in 50000 IU capsules intended for oral administration. Swallow the capsule as a whole and do not crush, chew, or open the capsule, with or without food, but it is recommended to take it with food.

Take Drisdol exactly as your doctor instructed and do not make alterations in the dosage or frequency. Your doctor will make adjustments to your dosage as necessary. Follow your doctor’s instructions for any changes you may need to make in your diet.

Always consult your doctor about any concerns you may have when taking Drisdol.

What if I missed a dose?

Taking the dose properly at the scheduled time is needed to attain the desired effect of the drug. If you forgot to take your medicine, immediately take the next dose to make up for the missed dose. However, if it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and catch the next dose at the regular time.Do not take two doses just to make up for your missed dose.

What are the special precautions before taking Drisdol?

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Ergocalciferol, Aspirin, any component of Drisdol, or any other medications.

Tell your doctor if you are allergic to peanuts, soybean oil, sugar, aspartame, or tartrazine (a yellow dye found in some foods and drugs). Some forms of Ergocalciferol may contain these ingredients.

Tell your doctor if you have high levels of vitamin D and calcium in your blood, malabsorption syndrome (problems in absorbing nutrients from food) and if you are sensitive to large amounts of vitamin D.

Inform your doctor as well if you have ever had heart disease, diabetes, phenylketonuria, kidney disease, liver disease, or an electrolyte imbalance.

    Canadian Prescription Drug Store dispenses medications from our fully licensed and independently verified pharmacy partners around the world from Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand, India, Turkey, and Singapore.

    Legal disclaimer: The FDA, due to the current state of their regulations, has taken the position that virtually all shipments of prescription drugs imported from a Canadian online pharmacy by a U.S. consumer will violate the law. However, many legal experts disagree with the FDA's position in this regard stating that such importation is permitted under certain federal and state laws. Several State governments and consumer rights groups actively promote the importation of medications. The FDA itself provides the public information on how to import medications safely. Furthermore, there is no record of any US individual being prosecuted by the FDA for importing non-controlled prescription drugs for their personal use.
