A 100mg/mL (10%) electrolyte injectable used to correct hypocalcemia, stabilize cardiac membrane function in hyperkalemia, and support mineral balance. For IV administration only.
Calcium is essential to cardiac contractility, nerve transmission, muscle function, and blood coagulation. When mineral balance is disrupted, injectable Calcium Chloride provides rapid, direct correction that oral supplementation cannot achieve at the speed clinical situations require.

Hypocalcemia correction: Rapid restoration of calcium levels in patients presenting with muscle cramps, tetany, or seizure risk.
Hyperkalemia management: Stabilizes the cardiac membrane to reduce immediate arrhythmia risk while other interventions address elevated potassium.
Hypermagnesemia: Antagonizes the neuromuscular effects of excess magnesium, supporting normal cardiac and neuromuscular function.
Cardiac support: Used as a resuscitation adjunct supporting heart muscle contractility and managing calcium channel blocker toxicity.
Clinics offering Calcium Chloride Injection often combine it with Magnesium Chloride, Ascorbic Acid Injection, and other electrolyte components as part of a comprehensive IV therapy protocol.
Severe interaction — never co-administer with ceftriaxone. Also contraindicated in hypercalcemia, digoxin toxicity, hypophosphatemia, and kidney stones. Approximately 48 moderate drug interactions. Full medication review required. Monitor serum calcium regularly during treatment.
