PHARMACOLOGY
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 structu re
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.
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 is absorbed from the small intestine. About one-third of
ingested calcium is absorbed although this can
vary depending upon dietry factors and the state of small intestine;
also the absorption is increased during period
