Detail
Product Overview:
Calcium Chloride 10% Injectable Solution is a sterile, non-pyrogenic formulation designed for intravenous administration. Each 10mL single-dose vial contains 100mg of calcium chloride per milliliter, making it a potent and fast-acting agent for the treatment of conditions requiring rapid calcium replenishment or the correction of hypocalcemia.
Key Features:
- High-Concentration Formula:
- This injectable solution provides a 10% concentration of calcium chloride, equating to 100mg/mL, which allows for effective and immediate correction of calcium deficits in critical situations.
- The product is formulated to be sterile and free from pyrogens, ensuring it is safe for intravenous use and minimizing the risk of infection or adverse reactions during administration.
- Packaged in a single-dose vial, this product is intended for one-time use, reducing the risk of contamination and ensuring the sterility of each dose. This is particularly important in emergency settings where sterility is critical.
Indications: Calcium Chloride 10% Injectable Solution is indicated for:
- Treatment of acute hypocalcemia.
- Immediate treatment of hypocalcemia-related tetany (muscle spasms).
- Treatment of conditions such as hyperkalemia (elevated potassium levels) and hypermagnesemia (elevated magnesium levels), where calcium administration can act as a stabilizing agent.
- Emergency treatment of calcium channel blocker overdose.
Contraindications and Precautions:
- Contraindications: Calcium Chloride 10% Injectable Solution is contraindicated in patients with ventricular fibrillation, digitalis toxicity, or hypercalcemia.
- Precautions: Use with caution in patients with renal impairment, as excessive calcium can lead to hypercalcemia and potential kidney damage. Avoid extravasation (leakage into surrounding tissue), as this can cause tissue necrosis.
Potential Side Effects:
- Cardiovascular: Hypotension, bradycardia, arrhythmias.
- Local Reactions: Pain or burning at the injection site, especially if extravasation occurs.
- Systemic Effects: Hypercalcemia, which can manifest as nausea, vomiting, constipation, and in severe cases, confusion or coma.
Storage and Handling:
- Store at controlled room temperature, protected from light.
- Do not freeze. Discard any unused portion of the vial after opening, as it is intended for single use only.
