Calcium gluconate, tablets 500 mg 20 pcs

Calcium gluconate tablets have a replenishing effect on calcium deficiency, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, hemostatic action. It participates in the transmission of nerve impulses, the contraction of skeletal muscles and heart muscle, the formation of bone tissue, blood clotting.

Indications

Hypoparathyreosis (latent tetany, osteoporosis), disorders of vitamin D metabolism: rickets (spasmophilia, osteomalacia), hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic renal failure.
Increased calcium requirement (pregnancy, breastfeeding, period of intense growth), insufficient calcium content in food, calcium metabolism disorders (during postmenopause).
Increased calcium excretion (prolonged bed rest, chronic diarrhea, secondary hypocalcemia due to prolonged use of diuretics, antiepileptic drugs and glucocorticosteroids).
Poisoning with magnesium salts, oxalic and fluoric acids and their soluble salts (insoluble and non-toxic calcium oxalate and calcium fluoride are formed during interaction with calcium gluconate).
Hyperkalemic form of paroxysmal myoplegia.

Active ingredient

Composition

1 tablet contains calcium gluconate 500 mg.

How to take, the dosage

Calcium gluconate tablets are taken orally, before meals; adults – 1-3 g 2-3 times a day; children under 1 year – 0.5 g 2-3 times a day, 2-4 years – 1 g, 5-6 years – 1-1.5 g, 7-9 years – 1.5-2 g, 10-14 years – 2-3 g 2-3 times a day.

Interaction

Pharmaceutically incompatible with ethanol, carbonates, salicylates, sulfates (forms insoluble or hardly soluble salts of Ca 2+). Forms insoluble complexes with tetracycline antibiotics (reduces antibacterial effect). Concomitant use with quinidine may delay intraventricular conduction and increase quinidine toxicity. In combination with thiazide diuretics it can increase hypercalcemia and decrease effect of calcitonin at hypercalcemia, decrease bioavailability of phenytoin.

Special Instructions

A lot of drinking is recommended to reduce the risk of nephrolithiasis.
Application in patients with renal dysfunction:Patients with mild hypercalciuria, decreased glomerular filtration or with a history of nephrolithiasis should be prescribed with caution and under control of Ca 2+ concentration in urine.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity, hypercalcemia (concentration of calcium ions should not exceed 12 mg% = 6 mEq/L), severe hypercalciuria, nephrourolithiasis (calcium), sarcoidosis, severe renal insufficiency, simultaneous use of cardiac glycosides (risk of arrhythmias), children under 3 years old.
With caution. Dehydration, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, moderate chronic renal and/or cardiovascular insufficiency, hypercoagulation.
In patients with light hypercalciuria, with insignificant renal dysfunction or with urolithiasis in anamnesis the preparation should be used with caution and the urinary calcium excretion level should be regularly monitored.
If you have any of the above diseases, be sure to consult your doctor before taking the drug.

Side effects

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bradycardia.

Overdose

Symptoms:development of hypercalcemia.
Treatment: calcitonin, intravenously at a rate of 5-10 ME/kg/day (the drug is diluted in 500 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride solution, administered by drip for 6 hours).
