Calcium gluconate（Cat No.:M078208）is a calcium salt of gluconic acid, commonly used in clinical settings to treat or prevent calcium deficiencies. It is often administered intravenously to manage conditions like hypocalcemia, tetany, and muscle spasms. Calcium gluconate is also used to counteract hyperkalemia by stabilizing the heart’s electrical activity. In addition to intravenous use, it is found in oral supplements for bone health and calcium supplementation. It is considered safer for intravenous administration compared to other calcium salts, such as calcium chloride, due to its lower risk of irritation.
