PRECAUSIONS:
Supersaturated solutions are prone to precipitation. If precipitation
is evident
in syringes, do not use syringe. Precipitation if present in vials and
ampoules may be dissolved by heating to 80ºC in a dry heat oven for a
minimum of one hour. Shake vigorously. Allow to cool to room
temperature
before dispensing. The solution should not be used if precipitate
remains in
vials and ampoules after following the above procedure. To avoid
undesirable reactions that may follow rapid intravenous administration
of
calcium gluconate, the drug should be given slowly, e.g. approximately
1.5
ml over a period of 1 minute. When injected intravenously, calcium
gluconate should be injected through a small needle into a large vein
in
order to avoid too rapid increase in serum calcium and extravasation
of
calcium solution into the surrounding tissue with re
