Calcium Is Good For:
Orally, calcium is used for treatment and prevention of hypocalcemia,
osteoporosis, rickets, and latent tetany. It is also used orally for
hypoparathyroidism, osteomalacia, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), leg
cramps associated with pregnancy, and reducing the risk of
colorectal cancer. Calcium is also used orally for diarrhea and
rectal epithelial hyperproliferation following intestinal bypass,
reducing excess fluoride levels in children, hypertension, and high
low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels. Calcium carbonate is used
orally as an antacid. Calcium carbonate and calcium acetate are also
used orally as phosphate binders in renal failure.
Intravenously, calcium gluconate, acetate, gluceptate or chloride
are used for severe hypocalcemia and hypocalcemic tetany, and during
cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Calcium gluconate and gluceptate are
also given intramuscularly when intravenous administration is not
possible.
