AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
Doxercalciferol is a vitamin D analog administered via injection that requires metabolic activation to form the active 1α,25-(OH)2D2 metabolite. It binds to the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and selectively activates vitamin D-responsive pathways to reduce PTH levels by inhibiting PTH synthesis and secretion.
