AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
Paricalcitol is an intravenous vitamin D2 analog that selectively activates vitamin D receptor pathways to reduce parathyroid hormone (PTH) synthesis and secretion. It is indicated for secondary hyperparathyroidism management in patients with chronic kidney disease. The drug works through VDR binding to suppress PTH levels and normalize mineral metabolism.
