Key Features & Clinical Applications
-
Acute Hypocalcemia Management: Fast-acting intravenous calcium source indicated to restore ionized calcium levels during acute, symptomatic clinical hypocalcemia.
-
Preservative-Free Formulation: Contains no added preservatives or benzyl alcohol, ensuring compliance across sensitive pediatric, neonatal, and adult patient populations.
-
Cardioprotective Tissue Tolerance: Formulated to be less irritating to peripheral vasculature than Calcium Chloride when central venous access is unestablished.
-
Standardized 10 mL Unit Size: Convenient 1,000 mg single-dose vial size simplifies dosage calculations and rapid bedside preparation in emergency and clinical settings.
⚠️ Administration Precaution: Administer via slow intravenous push or continuous IV infusion via a secure line. Dilute in 5% Dextrose or Normal Saline prior to infusion and monitor ECG continuously to avoid rapid-infusion bradycardia, severe hypotension, or cardiac arrhythmias.
⚠️ Neonatal Contraindication: Contraindicated in neonates (28 days of age or younger) receiving concurrent ceftriaxone due to the risk of fatal ceftriaxone-calcium precipitates in vital organs.
⚠️ Incompatibility Notice: Do not mix or administer through the same line with solutions containing phosphates or carbonates to prevent precipitation.
