The following specification particularly describes the invention and manner in which it is to be performed:

Field of Invention
The present invention relates to a modified composition of calcitriol. The pharmaceutical composition comprises of calcitriol, calcium salt and zinc and/or their substitutes, trace elements. Further this relates to the process for preparation of stabilized pharmaceutical compositions resulting therefrom.
Back Ground of the invention
Osteoporosis is a condition that features loss of the normal density of bone. Osteoporosis leads to abnormally porous bone that is more compressible like a sponge than dense like a brick. This disorder of the skeleton weakens the bone leading to an increase in the risk of breaking bones (bone fracture).
Normal bone is composed of protein collagen and calcium. Osteoporosis depletes both the calcium and the protein from the bone, resulting in either abnormal bone quality or decreased bone density. Bones that are affected by osteoporosis can fracture with only a minor fall or injury that normally would not cause a bone fracture. The fracture can be either in the form of cracking (as in a hip fracture) or collapsing (as in a compression fracture of the vertebrae of the spine). The spine, hips, and wrists are common areas of osteoporosis-related bone fractures, although fractures can also occur in other skeletal areas such as the ribs.
Calcium is the fifth most abundant element in the body. Calcium is an important structural component of bone and teeth and also is necessary for the normal function of all muscles (skeletal, heart, and smooth muscles) and nerves as well as the normal clotting of blood.
It is used for preventing and treating osteoporosis in individuals with low levels of calcium in their diets. It is also indicated in the prevention and treatment of vitamin D deficiencies, such as, osteomalacia and rickets (in children). As well, it is used in the management of hypocalcemia associated with hypoparathyroidism and renal
2

osteodystrophy, hyperparathyroidism secondary to renal failure, postmenopausal osteoporosis and in pregnancy for mother and foetus and implement during lactating period.
Calcitriol is essential for the absorption of calcium by body. Usual daily source is obtained from the ultraviolet rays of the sun and its action on our skin (90%) producing vitamin D3 and, from our diet (10%). With age, the process, which utilizes this, begins to be less efficient. Calcitriol is a vitamin D analogue. It works by increasing calcium absorption from the gut and decreasing calcium excretion, thereby producing a positive calcium balance.
Calcitriol must be protected from air and light. The drug substance exhibits good stability when stored at -15°C to -25°C In an argon atmosphere. Calcitriol is stable at room temperature when dissolved in a vegetable oil derivative, containing antioxidants, such as used in calcitriol soft gelatin capsules (Analytical Profiles of Drug Substances by Florey; ISBN 0-12-260808-9).
Calcitriol gets hydroxylated to form la, 24,25-trihydroxy cholecalciferol prior to intestinal absorption. Also Vitamin D and/or its derivative are required in absorption of Ca++ during pregnancy or for calcium supplement of post-menopausal women. Zinc helps in the growth of fetus and mother. Additionally Zinc is used as an antioxidant.
Trace amounts of some minerals are needed for the body to function properly. Taken as supplements, zinc can promote bone formation and help to prevent osteoporosis. Most people get enough trace elements in their diets. However, for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, supplements can be helpful. A zinc deficiency is associated with decreases in bone density. That is why it is important to maintain adequate levels of zinc in diet to prevent and/or treat osteoporosis.

Zinc is herewith added in the formulation as an elemental supplement, to have a proper growth of foetus and overall growth of the mother.
The present invention is a modified composition of calcitriol. The said composition comprises of calcitriol, calcium salt and zinc and/or their substitutes.
There are a number of pharmaceutical compositions, which suffer from instability problems due to the fact that the active component is susceptible, sensitive to certain types of degradation, thereby diminishing their attractiveness, effectiveness and, in some cases, rendering them unsuitable from a commercial standpoint.
