AN OVERVIEW CALCIUM GLUCONATE INDICATION AND PHARMACEUTICAL PROPERTIES

Calcium, a biologically occurring ion, induces the narrowing of blood vessels and exerts a beneficial effect on the force of heart contractions. The use of this method to avoid post-spinal hypotension has been proposed, but it has not been fully assessed for patients following cesarean section. Administering intravenous calcium gluconate in conjunction with morphine helps alleviate abdominal pain caused by lead poisoning resulting from the consumption of opium tainted with lead. Intravenous administration of calcium gluconate has been employed as a preventive measure against postoperative hypocalcemia (POH) subsequent to parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
