This sterile, pyrogen-free preparation is intended for intravenous administration to treat conditions such as acute hypocalcemia, hyperkalemia, and as a cardioprotective agent in cases of severe hypermagnesemia and calcium channel blocker overdose.
Key Features:
- High Concentration Formula:
- Each 10mL syringe contains 100mg of calcium chloride, providing a potent source of calcium ions for rapid therapeutic action. The 10% concentration is specifically formulated to deliver an effective dose quickly.
- The pre-filled syringe offers convenience, reducing preparation time in emergency situations. It minimizes the risk of dosage errors and contamination, ensuring a sterile and accurate dose for each administration.
- Designed for single use, the vial eliminates the need for multiple preparations, providing a consistent and reliable source of calcium chloride without the risk of cross-contamination.
- Acute Hypocalcemia: Effective for treating symptomatic hypocalcemia, where immediate calcium replacement is necessary.
- Hyperkalemia: Used in the management of hyperkalemia to stabilize the myocardial membrane.
- Cardioprotective Agent: Administered during severe hypermagnesemia or calcium channel blocker overdose to counteract life-threatening effects.
- Supportive Treatment: Can be used in cardiac resuscitation during advanced cardiac life support (ACLS).
Benefits:
