About Calcium Gluconate 10Ml Inj

Calcium Gluconate 10Ml Inj is a mineral salt. It is a form of Calcium indicated for pediatric and adult patients to treat several medical conditions caused by low levels of Calcium in the body (hypocalcemia). Hypocalcemia is a treatable condition that happens when the calcium levels in your blood are too low. Many different health conditions can cause hypocalcemia.

Calcium Gluconate 10Ml Inj contains Calcium Gluconate, administered to increase Calcium's blood levels in the body, thereby reducing the risk of calcium disorders due to lack of Calcium in the body.

A healthcare professional administers Calcium Gluconate 10Ml Inj. Do not self-administer. Sometimes, you may experience local soft tissue inflammation, vasodilation, decreased blood pressure, bradycardia, cardiac arrhythmia, syncope, and cardiac arrest. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Before taking the Calcium Gluconate 10Ml Inj, let your doctor know about all your medical conditions, sensitivities, and medications you are using. Calcium Gluconate 10Ml Inj should not be used in pregnant and nursing mothers unless clearly necessary. So, inform your doctor if you are a pregnant or nursing mother.

To replace low levels of calcium

Directions for Use

A qualified healthcare professional will administer Calcium Gluconate 10Ml Inj. Hence, do not self-administer.

Medicinal Benefits

Calcium Gluconate 10Ml Inj contains Calcium Gluconate, which is administered to increase blood calcium levels in the body. It treats the body's calcium deficiency (hypocalcemia), thereby reducing the risk of calcium disorders due to low calcium levels. Calcium Gluconate 10Ml Inj is also used to treat high potassium levels in the blood, or an overdose of magnesium sulfate (i.e. Epsom salts), sudden severe stomach pain and during heart resuscitation to strengthen the heart muscle. It can be used to prevent abnormal heartbeat (arrhythmia) due to high potassium levels in the blood (severe hyperkalaemia) and helps to restore normal heart function in an emergency (cardiac arrest) if potassium levels in the blood are too high. On the other hand, it can treat lead and fluoride poisoning.

Storage

Store in a cool and dry place away from sunlight

Drug Warnings

Before receiving the Calcium Gluconate 10Ml Inj, inform your doctor if you are allergic to Calcium Gluconate 10Ml Inj or other medicines/foods.
