CALCIUM GLUCONATE 10ML INJECTION ONLINE AT BEST PRICE IN PAKISTAN

GENERIC: Calcium Gluconate 10% (1g/10ml)

MANUFACTURER: Bajwa Pharmaceuticals

QUANTITY:

Single ampoule (10ml)

INDICATION

Calcium Gluconate Injection is used for the emergency treatment of severe hypocalcemia (low blood calcium), hyperkalemia-induced cardiac arrhythmias, hypermagnesemia, and as an antidote to calcium channel blocker toxicity and hydrofluoric acid burns. It is also given as a supplement in neonates, in patients with hungry bone syndrome post-parathyroid surgery, and to counteract the cardiac effects of severe electrolyte disturbances.

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Calcium gluconate delivers ionized calcium to restore physiological calcium levels. Calcium is essential for numerous cellular processes including cardiac and skeletal muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, blood coagulation, and enzyme activation. In hyperkalemia, IV calcium acts rapidly to stabilize the cardiac cell membrane by raising the threshold potential, counteracting the depolarizing effects of excess potassium on the myocardium and reducing the risk of ventricular fibrillation.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

•      Hypocalcemia (acute): 10ml of 10% solution IV over 10 minutes, repeated as needed based on response

•      Hyperkalemia with cardiac effects: 10ml to 20ml of 10% solution IV over 5 to 10 minutes under ECG monitoring

•      Neonatal hypocalcemia: 1ml/kg IV slowly under supervision

•      Calcium channel blocker toxicity: 20ml to 60ml IV bolus as initial treatment

•      Infuse slowly; rapid IV injection can cause bradycardia and cardiac arrest

SIDE EFFECTS

Common:

•      Sensation of warmth or flushing during infusion

•      Mild hypotension during rapid injection

•      Nausea and vomiting

•      Tingling or paresthesia

Less common:

•      Severe bradycardia or cardiac arrest with rapid IV push

•      Hypercalcinemia with excessive or repeated dosing

•      Tissue necrosis from extravasation

•      Nephrolithiasis (kidney stones) with prolonged therapy

NOT RECOMMENDED IN

•      hypercalcemia or hypercalciuria

•      Ventricular fibrillation during cardiac resuscitation

•      Concurrent use with digitalis glycosides (risk of fatal arrhythmia)

•      Do not mix with sodium bicarbonate or phosphate solutions (precipitation occurs)

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Calcium gluconate is physically incompatible with many medications and should not be mixed in IV lines with sodium bicarbonate, phosphate solutions, ceftriaxone, or fluoroquinolones. Concurrent use with digoxin or other cardiac glycosides increases the risk of digitalis toxicity and fatal arrhythmia; avoid unless clearly indicated. Thiazide diuretics reduce urinary calcium excretion and can worsen hypercalcemia if calcium gluconate is given simultaneously.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Store Calcium Gluconate 10ml ampoules at room temperature below 25°C. Protect from light and extreme temperatures. Do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children.
