CALCIUM GLUCONATE INJ
₹7.61
Calcium Gluconate Injection is a sterile, injectable solution used to treat calcium deficiencies and manage conditions like hypocalcemia, hyperkalemia, and magnesium toxicity. It helps restore calcium levels in the blood, supporting proper muscle, nerve, and heart function.
Description
Calcium Gluconate Injection is a mineral supplement administered intravenously or intramuscularly to rapidly correct low calcium levels (hypocalcemia) in the body. Calcium is essential for various physiological processes including muscle contraction, nerve conduction, blood clotting, and bone health. This injection is commonly used in emergency and clinical settings to treat conditions such as acute hypocalcemia, hyperkalemia (high potassium levels), magnesium sulfate toxicity, and calcium channel blocker overdose.
The solution contains calcium gluconate, a less irritating form of calcium compared to calcium chloride, making it safer for intravenous administration. Upon administration, it increases the extracellular calcium concentration, thereby stabilizing cardiac membranes and supporting muscle and nerve function.
Typical indications include treatment of tetany, bone diseases, cardiac arrest, and certain electrolyte imbalances. Dosage and administration depend on the patient’s condition and physician’s discretion. Calcium Gluconate Injection should be used with caution in patients with hypercalcemia, renal impairment, or those on digitalis therapy to avoid adverse effects.
