Essential insights

• Calcium supply: Calcium gluconate provides an easily absorbed form of calcium to the body. Once administered, it increases calcium levels in the bloodstream, which is crucial for various physiological functions.
• Bone health and muscle function: By raising calcium levels, calcium gluconate supports bone health and muscle function. It helps in maintaining normal muscle contractions, nerve function, and overall skeletal strength.
• Treatment of hypocalcemia: Calcium gluconate is primarily used to treat hypocalcemia (low blood calcium levels), which can occur in conditions such as milk fever (parturient paresis) in dairy cows, eclampsia (puerperal tetany) in dogs, or other metabolic disorders. It helps to restore normal calcium levels and alleviate symptoms associated with calcium deficiency.
