Calcium Gluconate Injections

Calcium gluconate injections are used to treat acute calcium deficiency, such as hypocalcemia, which may arise from conditions like hypoparathyroidism or vitamin D deficiency. They are essential in managing life-threatening symptoms like cardiac arrhythmias, muscle spasms, or tetany. Additionally, these injections can counteract toxic effects of elevated potassium levels (hyperkalemia) and magnesium toxicity. Administered intravenously, calcium gluconate provides immediate correction of electrolyte imbalances, crucial for maintaining cardiac and neuromuscular function.
