Calcium Chlordie 10% Martindale
Calcium Chlordie 10% Martindale Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Calcium Chlordie 10% Martindale is an ionic compound of calcium and chlorine. It is highly soluble in water and it is deliquescent. It is a salt that is solid at room temperature, and it behaves as a typical ionic halide. It has several common applications such as brine for refrigeration plants, ice and dust control on roads, and in cement. It can be produced directly from limestone, but large amounts are also produced as a by-product of the Solvay process. Because of its hygroscopic nature, it must be kept in tightly-sealed containers.
Calcium is the fifth most abundant element in the body and the major fraction is in the bony structure. Calcium plays important physiological roles, many of which are poorly understood. It is essential for the functional integrity of the nervous and muscular systems. It is necessary for normal cardiac function and is one of the factors that operates in the mechanisms involved in the coagulation of blood.

Uses
Calcium Chlordie 10% Martindale is an ionic compound used for the treatment of hypocalcemia and hyperkalemia, and as an antidote to magnesium intoxication due to overdosage of magnesium sulfate.
For the treatment of hypocalcemia in those conditions requiring a prompt increase in blood plasma calcium levels, for the treatment of magnesium intoxication due to overdosage of magnesium sulfate, and used to combat the deleterious effects of hyperkalemia as measured by electrocardiographic (ECG), pending correction of the increased potassium level in the extracellular fluid.
Calcium Chlordie 10% Martindale is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Acute Renal Failure (ARF), Chronic Renal Failure (CRF), Dehydration, Dehydration Hypertonic, Dry Mouth, Electrolyte depletion, End-stage Chronic Kidney Failure, Fluid Loss, Hyperkalemia, Hypocalcemia, Hypocalcemic tetany, Hypovolaemia, Isotonic Dehydration, Shock, Hypovolemic, Beta blocker overdose, Calcium channel blocker overdose, Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy, Electrolyte replacement, Haemodiafiltration, Hemodialysis Treatment, Hemofiltration, Irrigation therapy, Parenteral Nutrition, Peritoneal dialysis therapy, Plasma Volume Replacement, Urine alkalinization therapy, Distension of the joints, Extraocular irrigation, Fluid and electrolyte maintenance therapy, Induction of cardiac arrest, Irrigation of the joints
How Calcium Chlordie 10% Martindale works
Calcium Chlordie 10% Martindale in water dissociates to provide calcium (Ca2+) and chloride (Cl-) ions. They are normal constituents of the body fluids and are dependent on various physiological mechanisms for maintenance of balance between intake and output. For hyperkalemia, the influx of calcium helps restore the normal gradient between threshold potential and resting membrane potential.
Toxicity
Too rapid injection may produce lowering of blood pressure and cardiac syncope. Persistent hypercalcemia from overdosage of calcium is unlikely because of rapid excretion.
Food Interaction
No interactions found.Elimination Route
Approximately 80% of body calcium is excreted in the feces as insoluble salts; urinary excretion accounts for the remaining 20%.
