4. Clinical particulars
4.1 Therapeutic indications
Calcium Chloride Injection is indicated for use in Cardio-pulmonary
Resuscitation where there is also
hyperkalaemia or hypocalcaemia or calcium channel block toxicity.
It is also used for the treatment of hypocalcaemia and of calcium
deficiency states (a decrease in plasma-
calcium concentration below the normal range of 2.15-2.60 mmol/L) as a
result of impaired or reduced
absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, increased deposition in
bone, or to excessive losses, for instance
during lactation.
Additionally, hypocalcaemia may develop during transfusions utilising
citrated blood or during long-term
parenteral nutrition unless prophylactic calcium supplementation is
employed. Other causes of
hypocalcaemia include decreased parathyroid hormone activity, vitamin
D deficiency and
hypomagnesaemia.
