CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Calcium is the fifth most abundant element in the body and is
essential for maintenance of the functional
integrity of nervous, muscular and skeletal systems, cell membranes
and capillary permeability. It is also
an important activator in many enzymatic reactions and is essential to
a number of physiologic
processes, including transmission of nerve impulses; contraction of
cardiac; smooth and skeletal
muscles; renal function; respiration; and blood coagulation. Calcium
also plays regulatory roles in the
release and storage of neurotransmitters and hormones; in the uptake
and binding of amino acids; in
cyanocobalamin (vitamin B
) absorption; and gastrin secretion.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Calcium Gluconate Injection, USP is used to treat conditions arising
from calcium deficiencies such as
hypocalcemic tetany, hypocalcemia related to hypoparathyroidism and
