Arachitol 3L Injection

Description

Arachitol 3L Injection is a high-strength Vitamin D3 preparation containing Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) 300,000 IU. It is used to treat and prevent Vitamin D deficiency, which plays a key role in maintaining healthy bones, teeth, and muscles. Vitamin D3 helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for strong bones and overall metabolic health.

Due to its high potency, this injection is generally prescribed in cases of severe deficiency or when oral supplementation is not sufficient or feasible.

Uses

• Treatment and prevention of Vitamin D3 deficiency

• Management of osteoporosis and osteomalacia (weak and brittle bones)

• Treatment of rickets in children

• Supports calcium absorption in chronic kidney disease and other metabolic bone disorders

• May be prescribed in conditions of hypoparathyroidism

How it Works

Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) increases the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the intestine and regulates their levels in the blood. This ensures proper bone mineralization, muscle function, and overall skeletal strength.
