Lactic acid diffuses through the muscles and is transported to the liver by the bloodstream to participate in gluconeogenesis .

No interactions found.

Volume of Distribution

The majority of calcium absorbed (99%) is stored in the skeleton and teeth for structural integrity .

Elimination Route

In order to be absorbed, calcium must be in its freely soluble form (Ca2+) or bound to a soluble organic molecule. Calcium absorption mainly occurs at the duodenum and proximal jejunum due to more acidic pH and the abundance of the calcium binding proteins . The mean calcium absorption is about 25% of calcium intake (range is 10 – 40%) in the small intestine, and is mediated by both passive diffusion and active transport .

Half Life

No pharmacokinetic data available.

Clearance

No pharmacokinetic data available.

Elimination Route

Following oral administration to a human volunteer, 20 to 30% of a dose of lactic acid of up to 3000 mg was excreted via the urine during a period of 14 hours .

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use

Pregnancy Category-C. Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks
