Calcium gluconate is a calcium salt used primarily for the prevention and treatment of calcium deficiency. Parenteral administation of calcium gluconate is needed in acute hypocalcaemia and hypocalcsemic tetany. It can be given intravenously in the treatment of severe hyper-kalaemia and in overdosage of magnesium sulphate, as calcium is the antagonist of magnesium toxicity. IV injections have been used in the treatment of acute renal biliary and intestinal colic. Calcium has been used as an inotrope in cardiac resuscitation. They may also be used for the prevention of hypocalcaemia in exchange transfusions, and in long term electrolyte replacement therapy.
