Vitamin D Since calcitriol is the most potent active metabolite of vitamin D 3 , pharmacological doses of vitamin D and its derivatives should be withheld during treatment with calcitriol to avoid possible additive effects and hypercalcemia (see WARNINGS ).

Progressive hypercalcemia due to overdosage of vitamin D and its metabolites may be so severe as to require emergency attention.
