Abstract
A 2-wk course of rifampicin orally (600 mg/day) in 8 male subjects resulted in a consistent fall in plasma 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-OHD) levels of around 70%, accompanied by increased oxidation of antipyrine and 6 beta-hydroxycortisol (indicative of hepatic enzyme induction). Plasma levels of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, parathyroid hormone, and calcitonin were not altered. The fall in 25-OHD may represent the earliest lesion of drug-induced osteomalacia.Entities:
