1. What DEDIOL is and what it is used for
DEDIOL contains alfacalcidol, a precursor of vitamin D.
DEDIOL is indicated in adults and children for the treatment of:
- fragility and decrease in bone mass and predisposition to fractures in patients with a kidney disease (Renal osteodystrophy) who are undergoing dialysis (a blood filtration system) or not.
- reduced functionality of the parathyroid glands, located in the neck (hypoparathyroidism).
- bone diseases caused by poor vitamin D metabolism, even in patients with a kidney disease (Vitamin D-resistant or D-dependent rickets and osteomalacia (pseudo-deficient), rickets and osteomalacia from other renal actions due to vitamin D metabolism).
- loss of bone consistency after menopause (Postmenopausal osteoporosis) (only in adult women in post menopause).
2. What you need to know before taking/giving DEDIOL to the child
Do not take/give DEDIOL to the child
- if you are allergic to alfacalcidol or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6),
- if you are pregnant,
- if you suffer from high levels of calcium in the blood (hypercalcemia).
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking/giving DEDIOL to the child.
Throughout the treatment period, the doctor will ask you/the child to undergo blood tests (calcium and phosphate levels, PTH, alkaline phosphatase and the calcium x phosphate product) and regular checks.
An increase in calcium levels in the blood (hypercalcemia) may occur during treatment with DEDIOL, the symptoms of which may include loss of appetite (anorexia), fatigue, nausea and vomiting, constipation or diarrhea, frequent need to urinate (polyuria), sweating, headache, intense thirst (polydipsia), high blood pressure (hypertension), drowsiness and dizziness (see section 4 Possible side effects).
In particular, inform your doctor if you/the child suffers from:
- hardening of the arteries, the large blood vessels of the body (arteriosclerosis), hardening (sclerosis) of the heart valves, stones (pebbles) in the kidney (nephrolithiasis), as in these cases you may develop transient or permanent kidney damage;
- accumulation of calcium in the lung (calcification of lung tissue). This can cause heart disease;
- a bone disease caused by a kidney problem (renal bone disease) or severely reduced kidney function. The doctor may prescribe a medicine called a phosphate binder to avoid high levels of phosphate in the blood (hyperphosphatemia) and potential calcium deposition in healthy tissues (metastatic calcification);
- an inflammatory disease that can affect the whole body and leads to the formation of nodules (sarcoidosis) or a similar disease;
- a kidney disease (chronic renal failure).
Also inform your doctor if you/the child are taking digitalis glycosides, medicines to treat heart disorders. You may experience increased calcium levels in the blood while taking these medicines and consequently increase the possibility of heart rhythm disturbances.
For athletes
The use of medicines containing ethyl alcohol (DEDIOL oral drops) may result in a positive doping test in relation to the blood alcohol concentration limits indicated by some sports federations.
Other medicines and DEDIOL
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you/the child are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.
In particular, inform your doctor if you/the child are taking:
- anticonvulsants (e.g. barbiturates, phenytoin, carbamazepine or primidone), medicines to treat uncontrolled body movements, as you may need to increase the doses of DEDIOL;
- magnesium-based antacids, medicines to treat heartburn;
- thiazide diuretics (medicines to treat high blood pressure) or preparations containing calcium. The doctor may ask you/the child to undergo blood tests;
- other preparations containing vitamin D;
- preparations containing aluminum (e.g. aluminum hydroxide, sucralfate);
- bile acid sequestrants, such as cholestyramine, medicines to treat high levels of fat in the blood. Take/give DEDIOL at least 1 hour before, or 4 to 6 hours after the bile acid sequestrant.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant, suspect or are planning a pregnancy, or if you are breastfeeding, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
Pregnancy
DEDIOL should not be used during pregnancy unless your doctor considers it strictly necessary.
Breastfeeding
Alfacalcidol is excreted in human milk. The doctor will decide whether to stop breastfeeding or stop therapy with DEDIOL, taking into account the benefit of breastfeeding for the child and the benefit of therapy for you.
The doctor will carefully monitor the breastfed baby during your treatment with DEDIOL.
Driving and using machines
Alfacalcidol does not alter or negligibly alters the ability to drive vehicles and use machinery. However, dizziness may occur during treatment and you should therefore take this into account while driving or using machinery.
DEDIOL capsules contains sesame oil
Rarely it may cause serious allergic reactions.
DEDIOL drops contains ethanol, sorbitol, methyl-p-hydroxybenzoate, glycerol polyethylene glycol stearate, sodium
This medicine contains up to 340 mg of ethanol(alcohol) per dose (corresponding to 6 mcg of alfacalcidol), equivalent to 14 vol % of ethanol. The amount of ethanol in this medicine is equivalent to less than 9 ml of beer or 4.5 ml of wine per dose.
The small amount of alcohol in this medicine will not produce significant effects.
This medicine contains 226 mg of sorbitol, as an excipient, in 1 mcg of alfacalcidol (equivalent to 26 drops).
Sorbitol is a source of fructose. If your doctor has told you that you (or the child) are intolerant to certain sugars, or if you have a diagnosis of hereditary fructose intolerance, a rare genetic disease in which patients cannot transform fructose, talk to your doctor before you (or the child) take this medicine.
This medicine contains methyl-p-hydroxybenzoate:may cause allergic reactions (even delayed).
This medicine contains glycerol polyethylene glycol stearate: may cause stomach upset and diarrhea.
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodiumper ml, i.e. essentially “sodium-free”.
3. How to take/give DEDIOL to the child
Take/give this medicine to the child always following exactly the instructions of the doctor or the
pharmacist. If you have any doubts consult the doctor or the pharmacist.
During the entire treatment period the doctor will ask you/the child to undergo blood tests and regular checks.
Adults (all indications)
The recommended initial dose is 1 mcg per day (equivalent to 26 drops of oral solution).
The recommended maintenance dose is between 0.25 and 1 mcg per day based on the results
obtained with the therapy and from the laboratory tests that the doctor will ask you to undergo during
the treatment.
In case of osteoporosis, the doctor will indicate the most suitable dose for you based on your state of health.
In patients with severe bone dysfunction (except those with renal insufficiency) the doctor may
increase the dosage between 1 and 3 mcg per day.
In patients with severe hypocalcemia the doctor may increase the dosage between 3 and 5 mcg per day. In such
patients, the doctor may also prescribe other medicines containing calcium.
Children weighing more than 20 kg
The recommended initial dose is 1 mcg per day (equivalent to 26 drops of oral solution).
The recommended maintenance dose is determined by the doctor based on the results obtained with the
therapy and from the laboratory tests that the doctor will ask you to have the child undergo during
the treatment.
Children weighing less than 20 kg

The recommended initial dose is 0.05 mcg / kg per day, equivalent to approximately 1 drop/kg (e.g., for a
child of 10 kg the dose is 13 drops per day).
