Calcium IV Single Ampoule

Composition 

Calcium Gluconate 2000mg

Calcium gluconate 2000 mg in an IV drip is used because calcium is an essential electrolyte involved in muscle function, nerve signalling, heart rhythm, bone health, and cellular metabolism. IV administration provides rapid and reliable absorption, which is useful when oral absorption is slow or insufficient.

Here’s why it’s beneficial in IV therapy:

Key Benefits

1. Supports muscle and nerve function

Calcium is required for proper muscle contraction and nerve transmission. IV calcium can help with:

• Muscle cramps or spasms
• Tingling or numbness
• Fatigue or weakness

2. Regulates heart rhythm

Calcium plays a major role in cardiac electrical conduction. IV calcium gluconate is used medically to:

• Support normal heart rhythm
• Stabilise cardiac membranes

(This is why it’s also used in emergency medicine in controlled doses.)

3. Bone and teeth health

Long-term calcium deficiency affects bone density. IV therapy can help restore levels in people with poor gut absorption.

4. Supports energy metabolism

Calcium is involved in enzymatic reactions needed for energy production, so clients often report improved energy levels.

5. Helps counter electrolyte imbalance

Useful after illness, dehydration, or malabsorption where calcium levels may be low.

Why calcium gluconate specifically?

• It’s safer for IV use than calcium chloride
• Less irritating to veins
• Lower risk of tissue damage if extravasation occurs
• Well tolerated in slow infusion
