This information is intended only for doctors or healthcare professionals:
Dosage
Hypocalcemia
in adults: one 5 or 10 ml ampoule daily or alternately.
in children: 0.2 ml/kg body weight (maximum of 1 to 10 ml)
In cardiac resuscitation: It should be injected into the ventricular cavity. Do not inject into the myocardium.
in adults: 2 to 4 ml administered rapidly.
in children: 0.2 ml/kg body weight (maximum of 1 to 10 ml)
Magnesium poisoning
in adults: one 5 ml ampoule daily or alternately.
Hyperkalemia
in adults: Adjust the dose by monitoring the ECG during administration.
in children: 0.2 ml/kg body weight (maximum of 1 to 10 ml)
Instructions for correct administration:
It should only be administered intracardially, in cardiac resuscitation, or by slow intravenous route; and by healthcare personnel.
Extravasation or intramuscular injection should be avoided. If this happens, 5 to 10 ml of sterile physiological solution will be injected subcutaneously in the periphery of the extravasation, and warm compresses will be applied, thus avoiding any sclerosis.
When the calcium concentration in the blood is high, it may increase the possibility of calcium deposition in soft tissues if calcium salts are administered simultaneously with potassium and sodium phosphate.
When the serum calcium concentration is higher than 12 mg/100 ml, a series of immediate measures are required, such as hydration, promoting diuresis, and the use of chelating agents, calcitonin, or corticosteroids. Serum calcium levels should be determined at frequent intervals to adjust the dose.
Calcium salts usually reverse the effects of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockers if administered simultaneously.
The solution should be visually inspected before use. The solution must be transparent, not contain precipitates, and the packaging must be intact. Do not administer otherwise.
