Cacl2 Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Calcium Chloride
Cacl2 Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Calcium Chloride
INDICATIONS
10% Calcium Chloride Injection, USP is indicated (1) for the treatment
of hypocalcemia
in those conditions requiring a prompt
increase in blood plasma calcium
levels, (2) in the treatment
of magnesium intoxication
due to overdosage of magnesium
sulfate and (3) to combat
the deleterious
effects of hyperkalemia
as measured by electrocardiographic (ECG), pending correction of
the increased potassium
level in the extracellular
fluid. 2
10% Calcium Chloride Injection, USP also may be used in cardiac
resuscitation when weak
or inadequate contractions return following defibrillation
or when epinephrine
injection has failed
to strengthen myocardial
contractions.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
10% Calcium Chloride Injection, USP is administered only by slow
intravenous injection (not to exceed 1 mL/min) and/or in cardiac
resuscitation, by injection into the ventricular
cavity. It must not be injected
into the myocardium.
The usual precautions for intravenous
therapy should be observed.
If time permits, the solution
should be warmed to body
temperature. The injection should be halted if the patient
complains of any discomfort; it may be resumed when symptoms disappear.
Following injection,
the patient should remain
recumbent for a short
time.
The usual adult dosage
in hypocalcemic disorders ranges from 500 mg to 1 g (5 to 10 mL)
at intervals of ito 3 days, depending on the response of the patient
and/or results of serum
calcium determinations.
Repeated injections may be required because of rapid excretion
of calcium.
In magnesium intoxication,
an initial adult
dose of 500 mg
(5 mL) should be administered promptly and the patient
observed for signs of recovery before further doses are given.
In hyperkalemic ECG disturbances
of cardiac function,
the dosage of calcium
chloride injection
should be titrated by constant
monitoring of ECG changes during administration.
In cardiac resuscitation,
the usual adult dosage
ranges from 500 mg to 1 g (5 to 10 mL) intravenously, or from 200
to 800 mg (2 to 8 mL) when
injected into the ventricular
cavity.
Parenteral drug products
should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration
prior to administration, whenever solution
and container permit. See PRECAUTIONS.
To prevent needle-stick injuries, needles should not be recapped,
purposely bent or broken by hand.
