    Calcium gluconate is used to treat calcium deficiencies, hyperkalemia, hypermagnesemia, and as an adjunct in cardiac arrest or calcium channel blocker toxicity. It works by maintaining cell membrane permeability, nerve impulse transmission, and muscle contraction. It should be administered intravenously in doses ranging from 200 mg to 2 grams based on age, directly or by infusion. Side effects include low urination, swelling, irregular heartbeat, and nausea. It is contraindicated in patients with hypercalcemia, renal disease, or cardiac disease. Nursing interventions include monitoring ECG, blood pressure, and vital signs during infusion.

    Calcium can decrease the absorption of other drugs such as
    bisphosphonates (for example, alendronate), tetracycline
    antibiotics (such as doxycycline, minocycline), estramustine,
    levothyroxine, and quinolone antibiotics (such as ciprofloxacin,
    levofloxacin). Certain foods (cereals, spinach) may decrease
    absorption
