CALCIUM GLUCONATE 10 percent W-V INJECTION 10 percent IV 10 ML AMPOULE PSI

Product Overview

Calcium Gluconate 10% w/v Injection, produced by PSI (Pharmaceutical Solutions Industry), is a sterile solution designed for intravenous administration. It is primarily used to rapidly replenish calcium levels in the blood, addressing conditions caused by hypocalcemia.

This essential medication plays a critical role in various physiological processes, including nerve signal transmission, muscle contraction, blood coagulation, and maintaining bone integrity. Its injectable form ensures quick and effective delivery for urgent medical needs.

Benefits of Use

• Rapidly restores normal serum calcium levels in patients with acute hypocalcemia.
• Effective in treating symptoms such as tetany, muscle spasms, and seizures caused by low calcium.
• Can be used to mitigate cardiac toxicity associated with hyperkalemia (high potassium levels).
• Supports vital bodily functions dependent on adequate calcium, including neurological and muscular health.
• Administered under medical supervision, ensuring precise dosage and monitoring.

How to Use

1. Calcium Gluconate 10% w/v Injection must only be administered by a qualified healthcare professional.
2. The solution is intended for slow intravenous (IV) injection.
3. Dosage and rate of administration are determined by the patient's specific medical condition, calcium levels, and response to treatment.
4. Continuous monitoring of serum calcium levels, heart rate, and blood pressure is typically performed during and after administration.
5. Ensure patency of the IV line and avoid extravasation.

Caution & Warnings

• Do not administer rapidly intravenously, as this may lead to cardiac arrest, bradycardia, or arrhythmias.
• Monitor for signs of hypercalcemia (high calcium levels) such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, thirst, polyuria, and confusion.
• Use with extreme caution in patients receiving digitalis glycosides, as concurrent use may precipitate cardiac arrhythmias.
• Avoid mixing with solutions containing phosphates or bicarbonates, as precipitation may occur.
• Administer with caution in patients with renal impairment, sarcoidosis, or a history of kidney stones.
• Not for intramuscular or subcutaneous administration due to risk of tissue necrosis and abscess formation.
• Keep out of reach of children.
