Dihydrotachysterol (DHT) is in the liver activated synthetic vitamin D - analogue that no renal hydroxylation requires such as vitamin D 2 ( ergocalciferol ) and vitamin D 3 ( cholecalciferol ). DHT has a quick onset of action (2 hours), a shorter half-life and a greater effect on the mineralization of bone salts than vitamin D. It is used in cases of underactive parathyroid glands . The active ingredient was patented by Winthrop in 1941 and is commercially available as a generic .
