Calcium Gluconate Injection
Indications:
Calcium Gluconate Injection is used to treat conditions arising
from calcium deficiencies such as hypocalcemic tetany, hypocalcemia
related to hypoparathyroidism and hypocalcemia due to rapid growth
of pregnancy. It is also used in the treatment of black widow
spider bites to relieve muscle cramping and as an adjunct in the
treatment of rickets, osteomalacia, lead colic and magnesium
sulfate overdosage. Calcium gluconate has also been employed to
decrease capillary permeability in allergic conditions,
nonthrombocytopnic pupura and exudative dermatoses such as
dermatitis herpetiformis and for pruritus of eruptions caused by
certain drugs. In hyperkalemia, calcium gluconate may aid in
antagonizing the cardiac toxicity, provided the patient is not
receiving digitalis therapy.
Contra-indications:
Calcium salts are contraindicated in patients with ventricular
fibrillation or hypercalcemia. Intravenous administration of
calcium is contraindicated when serum calcium levels are above
normal.
Adverse Effects:
Patients may complain of tingling sensations, a sense of oppression
or heat waves and a calcium or chalky taste following the
intravenous administration of calcium gluconate.
Rapid intravenous injection of calcium salts may cause
vasodilation, decreased blood pressure, bradycardia, cardiac
arrhythmias, syncope and cardiac arrest. Use in digitalized
patients may precipitate arrhythmias.
Local necrosis and abscess formation may occur with intramuscular
injection.
Storage instructions:
Store below 25ºC. Protect from moisture. Keep out of reach of
children.
