Minerals in bone formation, Specific mineral preparations
This preparation has three main actions: It supplements dietary calcium, neutralizes gastric acid in peptic - cures disease and sequesters phosphorus in the intestine to reduce the total body phosphate accumulation in chronic renal future. Calcium Lactate neutralizes gastric acid in peptic ulcer disease and gives supplementary dietary calcium by reducing serum phosphate concentration which ultimately ensures the deposition of calcium phosphate in bone and soft tissue.
19-50 year: 1,000 mg elemental Calcium Lactate per day. >50 year: 1,200 mg elemental Calcium Lactate per day.
May reduce the efficacy of calcium-channel blockers. Concurrent admin of IV calcium salt with cardiac glycosides may lead to serious adverse events. Increased risk of hypercalcaemia when used with thiazide diuretics. May reduce absorption of tetracycline, alendronate, atenolol, iron, quinolone antibiotics, sodium fluoride and zinc.
Conditions associated with hypercalcaemia and hypercalciuria. Sarcoidosis; history of nephrolithiasis. Avoid IV admin of calcium in patients on cardiac glycosides. Increased risk of hypercalcaemia and hypercalciuria in hypoparathyroid patients receiving high doses of vitamin D. Caution when used in patients with history of kidney stones. Patients should be advised to administer vitamin D concurrently to optimise calcium absorption. Pregnancy.
Gl discomfort e.g. nausea, vomiting, constipation; bradycardia, arrhythmias. Dry mouth, increased thirst or increased urination. Mental confusion, milk-alkali syndrome.
Pregnancy Category-C. Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks.
