Cacl2 Warnings, Precautions, Pregnancy, Nursing, Abuse - Calcium Chloride
Cacl2 Warnings, Precautions, Pregnancy, Nursing, Abuse - Calcium Chloride
WARNINGS
|
CAUTION: This solution
must not be injected
intramuscularly or subcutaneously.
|
10% Calcium Chloride Injection, USP is irritating to veins and
must not be injected
into tissues, since severe necrosis
and sloughing may
occur. Great care should be taken to avoid extravasation
or accidental injection into perivascular
tissues.
PRECAUTIONS
Do not administer unless solution
is clear and seal is intact.
Discard unused portion.
Because of its additive
effect, calcium should
be administered very cautiously to a patient
who is digitalized or who is taking effective doses of digitalis
or digitalis-like preparations.
Injections should be made slowly through a small needle
into a large vein to minimize venous
irritation and avoid
undesirable reactions. It is particularly important to prevent a
high concentration
of calcium from reaching
the heart because of the
danger of cardiac syncope.
If injected into the ventricular
cavity in cardiac
resuscitation, it must not be injected into the myocardial
tissue.
Pregnancy Category C. Animal reproduction
studies have not been conducted with calcium
chloride. It also is not known whether calcium chloride
can cause fetal
harm when administered to a pregnant
woman or can affect reproduction
capacity. Calcium chloride
should be given to a pregnant
woman only if clearly
needed.
