What is the brand name of Ergocalciferol?

Ergocalciferol is a generic prescription drug and is the active ingredient in the brand-name prescription drug, Drisdol.

What is Ergocalciferol?

Ergocalciferol is a synthetic form of vitamin D2 and is found in a wide spectrum of over-the-counter vitamin supplements. Ergocalciferol is also used at prescription strengths to treat overactive parathyroid glands, rickets (a bone-softening disease in children that results from vitamin D deficiency), and hereditary low blood phosphate levels.

Ergocalciferol helps the body absorb and use calcium and phosphate and is critical to maintaining the correct balance of these minerals in the body. Ergocalciferol also reduces the production of parathyroid hormones which promote the reabsorption of calcium from the bones, resulting in bone loss.

Ergocalciferol is administered as a capsule or liquid capsule.

What are the side effects of Ergocalciferol?

At non-prescription doses (less than 5,000 International Units), Ergocalciferol has few and rarely experienced side effects. At prescription strength (more than 5,000 IUs), the most common side effects of Ergocalciferol are chest pain, shortness of breath, and frequent urination.

Mental and mood changes are more common and include irritability, problems thinking, and changes in behavior.

Taking excessive amounts of vitamin D2 can cause calcium buildup in the body, which results in nausea, vomiting, weakness, frequent urination, and calcium crystals forming in the joints. Ergocalciferol is a synthetic version of vitamin D2, so allergic reactions are rare and usually in response to the inactive ingredients in Ergocalciferol.
