HECTOROL  (DOXERCALCIFEROL):  This medication is used to treat people with serious kidney disease who have high levels of a certain natural substance (parathyroid hormone-PTH), which your body normally makes. High PTH levels affect the balance of other minerals in your body (calcium and phosphorus) and may result in weak bones. Doxercalciferol is a man-made form of vitamin D. It works by decreasing PTH levels and increasing calcium/phosphorus levels in the body.   FDA Approval Date: 1999-06-09 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
