Correct Answer: Ergocalciferol
Solution : The correct answer is Ergocalciferol.
Ergocalciferol is used to treat hypoparathyroidism (when the body does not produce enough parathyroid hormone), refractory rickets (bone softening and weakness that does not respond to treatment), and familial hypophosphatemia (rickets or osteomalacia caused by an inherited condition with a decreased ability to break down vitamin D in the body). Ergocalciferol belongs to a family of drugs known as vitamin D analogues. It works by assisting the body in using more calcium from diets or supplements.
