Application

Calcium gluconate serves multiple purposes, primarily functioning as a mineral supplement and medication. As a calcium salt of D-gluconic acid, it is often utilized when dietary calcium is insufficient, thereby supporting bone health and addressing deficiencies. In medical settings, it is utilized intravenously to correct low blood calcium levels, combat high blood potassium, and counteract magnesium toxicity, with careful monitoring of plasma calcium levels and electrocardiographic changes. Additionally, calcium gluconate is effective for easing muscle cramps resulting from black widow spider bites and is employed in the management of osteoporosis and rickets. Beyond medicinal uses, it fortifies foods and beverages that are low in calcium and acts as an inert ingredient in pesticide formulations. Its versatility extends to reducing capillary permeability in allergic reactions and various skin conditions, making it a valuable component in both health and agricultural sectors.
