Eldecalcitol is a drug used in Japan for the treatment of osteoporosis. It is an analog of vitamin D. Osteoporosis is a common bone disease among the older generation with an estimated prevalence of over 200 million people. This condition often results in bone fractures due to abnormally low bone mass density and is a leading cause of disability especially among developed countries with longer average life spans. Osteoporosis is more common in women than with men.
