Mechanism of action

Calcium is a macro element involved in the formation of bone tissue, the process of blood coagulation, is necessary to maintain stable cardiac activity, the processes of transmission of nerve impulses. Improves muscle contraction in muscular dystrophy, myasthenia, reduces vascular permeability. With the on / in the introduction of Calcium causes the excitation of the sympathetic nervous system and increased release of adrenaline by the adrenal glands; has a moderate diuretic effect.

Hypocalcemia of various genesis, hypoparathyroidism, parenchymal hepatitis, toxic liver damage, nephritis, eclampsia, hyperkalemic form of paroxysmal myoplegia, inflammatory and exudative processes, skin diseases. As an additional tool in the treatment of allergic diseases and drug allergies. As an additional hemostatic agent for pulmonary, gastrointestinal, nasal, uterine bleeding.

Under the influence of Kolestiramin calcium absorption from the gastrointestinal tract is reduced. With simultaneous use with quinidine may slow intraventricular conductivity and increase the toxicity of quinidine. During treatment with cardiac glycosides, parenteral administration of calcium gluconate is not recommended, due to increased cardiotoxicity.With simultaneous oral administration of calcium gluconate and tetracyclines, the action of the latter may decrease, due to a decrease in their absorption.
