PHARMACODYNAMICS
:
Calcium is essential for the functional integrity of the nervous,
muscular and skeletal systems. It plays a role in normal cardiac
function, renal function, respiration, blood coagulation, and cell
membrane and capillary permeability. Also calcium helps to
regulate the release and storage of neurotransmitters and hormones,
the uptake and binding of amino acids, absorption of
vitamin B12, and gastrin secretion. The major fraction (99%) of
calcium is in the skeletal structure primarily as hydroxyapatite;
small amount of calcium carbonate and amorphous calcium phosphates are
also present. The calcium of bone is in constant
exchange with the calcium of plasma. Since the metabolic functions of
calcium are essential for life, when there is a disturbance
in the calcium balance because of dietary deficiency or other causes,
the store of calcium in bone may be depleted to fill the
body’s more acute needs. Therefore, on chronic basis, normal
mineralisation of bone depends on adequate amounts of total
body calcium.
Calcium carbonate has a high neutralisation capacity combined with a
rapid rate of reaction make it an ideal antacid
management of conditions associated with hyperacidity. It effectively
neutralises free acid yet does not causes systemic
alkalosis in the presence of normal renal function.
PHARMACOKINETICS:
Calcium carbonate is converted to calcium chloride by gastric acid.
Some of the calcium is absorbed from the intestines but
about 80% is converted to insoluble calcium salts such as the
carbonate and stearate, and excreted in the faeces. Calcium i
