Name:
Name: Calcium chloride (Calcii chloridum)
Indications for use:
With insufficient function of the parachitic glands, accompanied by tetany or spasmophilia (diseases in babies associated with a decrease in the content of calcium ions in the blood and sagging of the blood). With increased release of calcium from the body, which can occur with prolonged immobilization of patients. For allergic diseases (serum sickness, urticaria, angioedema, hay fever, etc.) and allergic complications associated with medication. Mechanism antiallergic action unclear, it should be noted, however, that intravenous administration of calcium salts induces sympathetic nervous system and increased adrenal secretion by the adrenal glands. As a means that reduces vascular permeability, with hemorrhagic vasculitis (hemorrhage due to inflammation of the walls of blood vessels), radiation sickness, inflammatory and exudative processes (discharge from small vessels protein-rich fluid tissue) - pneumonia (inflammation of the lungs), pleurisy (inflammation of the membrane covering the lungs and lining the walls chest cavity), adnexitis (inflammation of the uterine appendages), endometritis (inflammation inner surface uterus), etc. For skin diseases (itching, eczema, psoriasis, etc.). With parenchymal hepatitis (inflammation of the liver tissue), toxic liver damage (liver damage harmful substances), nephritis (inflammation of the kidney), eclampsia (severe form of late toxicosis of pregnant women), hyperkalemic form of paroxysmal myoplegia (paroxysmal / intermittent / paralysis, proceeding with an increase in potassium in the blood).
Also used as a hemostatic agent for pulmonary, gastrointestinal, nasal, uterine bleeding; in surgical practice, it is sometimes administered before surgical intervention to increase blood clotting. However, there are no sufficiently reliable data on the hemostatic (hemostatic) effect of calcium salts introduced into the body from outside; Calcium ions are necessary for blood clotting, but the amount of calcium usually contained in blood plasma exceeds the amount required to convert prothrombin to thrombin (one of the blood clotting factors).
It is also used as an antidote for poisoning with magnesium salts (see magnesium sulfate), oxalic acid and its soluble salts, as well as soluble salts of fluoric acid (when interacting with calcium chloride, non-dissociating / non-disintegrating / and non-toxic oxalate and calcium fluoride are formed).
The drug is also used in combination with other methods and drugs to stimulate generic activity.
When taken orally (8-10 g) has a diuretic (diuretic) effect; according to the mechanism of action, it refers to acid-forming diuretics (diuretics - see ammonium chloride).
Pharmachologic effect:
Calcium plays an important role in the life of the body. Calcium ions are necessary for the transmission of nerve impulses, the contraction of skeletal and smooth muscles, the activity of the heart muscle, the formation bone tissue, blood clotting, also for the normal functioning of other organs and systems.
A reduced calcium content in blood plasma is observed in a number of pathological conditions... Severe hypocalcemia (low calcium in the blood) leads to the development of tetany (convulsions).
Correction of hypocalcemia is carried out with the help of calcium products, as well as hormonal products (see kaliitonin - page 543, parathyroidin - page 545), ergocaliferol, etc.
Calcium chloride method of administration and dosage:
Prescribe calcium chloride orally, intravenously drip (slowly), intravenously jet (very slowly!), Also administered by electrophoresis (transdermal administration medicinal substances by means of electric current).
Inside, take after meals in the form of a 5-10% solution 2-3 times every day. Adults are prescribed 10-15 ml per dose (dessert or tablespoon of solution); children - 5-10 ml (teaspoon or dessert spoon).
6 drops per minute are injected into a vein, diluting 5-10 ml of a 10% solution in 100-200 ml of isotonic sodium chloride solution or 5% glucose solution before administration. Intravenous stream is injected slowly (over 3-5 minutes) 5 ml of a 10% solution.
For the treatment of allergic diseases, the combined use of calcium chloride and antihistamines is recommended.
Calcium chloride contraindications:
Calcium chloride solutions should not be administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly, as they cause severe irritation and tissue necrosis (necrosis).
Calcium chloride is contraindicated in case of a tendency to thrombosis (blockage of a vessel by a blood clot), advanced atherosclerosis, and an increased calcium content in the blood.
Calcium chloride side effects:
When taking calcium chloride inside, pain in the epigastric region, heartburn is possible; when injected into a vein, bradycardia (decrease in pulse rate); when administered quickly, ventricular fibrillation (chaotic contractions of the heart muscle) may occur. At intravenous administration calcium chloride, there is a sensation of heat, first in the mouth, and then throughout the body. This feature of the product was previously used to determine the blood flow velocity; the time between the moment of its introduction into a vein and the appearance of a sensation of heat was determined.
Calcium chloride- one of the most popular drugs in the treatment of allergies. This medicine has complex action... It is used both as an antimicrobial agent and as a decongestant medicine. In addition, this compound is included in the composition of ophthalmic solutions, with which the eyes are washed, including for some types of conjunctivitis.
However, calcium chloride has its own characteristics that limit its use. Since calcium is quite strong impact on the circulatory and cardiovascular system, before you start taking it, you need to go full examination, and also inform the attending physician about the presence of chronic diseases.

Indications for use
Calcium chloride is indicated in the following cases:
- insufficient function of the parathyroid glands,
- all types of allergic reactions,
- inflammation of liver tissue,
- some gynecological diseases(endometritis, adnexitis),
- liver damage by toxic substances,
- eclampsia during pregnancy,
- lung diseases (pneumonia, pleurisy),
- increased excretion of calcium from the body, which is often found in bedridden patients due to immobility.
In surgical practice, calcium chloride is often used as a hemostatic agent.
The indications for the use of this remedy include seasonal allergies(including rhinitis associated with a reaction to plant pollen), various dermatitis of a similar nature (urticaria), in addition, allergic reactions to medications including sera and vaccines.
Although this drug has been used for a long time, its mechanism of action has not yet been fully understood by researchers, although in general outline its effectiveness has been proven.
pharmachologic effect
Regardless of whether calcium chloride is used for allergies or any other disease, it always works the same. This solution compensates for the deficiency of calcium ions, which in the body play a very significant role... With their lack, nerve impulses are transmitted more slowly and skeletal and smooth muscles contract worse. Calcium chloride deficiency can lead to various problems... After all, calcium ions are necessary for many processes in the body.
When calcium chloride enters the body, adrenaline is synthesized in the adrenal glands. It prevents biologically active substances from getting into tissues vulnerable to this, and this helps to eliminate rash and itching with urticaria, relieve swelling in all types of allergic reactions.
Calcium chloride does more than just eliminate hypocalcemia. It promotes vasodilation in all internal organs, including in the bronchi, which has great value with asthma. In addition, it can be used for other diseases, and the same mechanism of its action, associated with the stimulation of the production of adrenaline, will be used.
Calcium ions have a beneficial effect on blood vessels, strengthen their walls and make them more elastic, and at the same time reduce their permeability. This prevents the development of inflammation and increases the body's resistance, that is, it strengthens the immune system, and it is the reaction of the immune system that is often the cause of the development of allergies. That is why calcium chloride for allergies is used in combination with other antihistamines, since it is effective not so much by itself, but due to the fact that it enhances the action of other drugs.
Calcium chloride helps to speed up the elimination of toxins and allergens from the body. This is due to some of the diuretic effect this compound has.
Thus, calcium chloride solution is effective in treating all types of allergic reactions, ranging from skin rash and ending with Quincke's edema. It can quickly relieve puffiness and flushing of the skin.
Main applications
There are four main ways to use calcium chloride. It:
- 1. The classic version: oral administration. How to drink the drug in this case, the doctor will tell you. In general, this form of treatment is prescribed when the allergy is in a passive stage, that is, there is no exacerbation of the disease. To do this, you can purchase a 10% or even 5% calcium chloride solution. The dosage in either case will be told by the doctor. On average, children are allowed to drink no more than 10 ml of this solution at a time, and adults - no more than 15 ml. How should this medicine be taken? It is advisable to do this after meals, and drink at the same time as antihistamines (such as histaphen or loratadine).
- 2. Intravenous jet injection. Indications for use: bright severe symptoms allergies in the acute stage, for example, Quincke's edema, which can be fatal. But even the jet injection is performed rather slowly, at a rate of about 5 ml of solution in 5 minutes.
- 3. Intravenous drip. It is used for all types of allergic reactions. With this method of administration, a 10% solution of the drug is used, which is diluted with saline or 5% glucose solution. In any case, 10 ml of calcium chloride requires up to 200 ml of isotonic solution.
- 4. Electrophoresis on this moment considered the safest form of calcium chloride administration. With this method, the penetration of the solution into the skin provides a weak electricity, which allows you to eliminate the risks of tissue necrosis arising from intravenous injection... At the same time, the drug retains its decongestant and anti-inflammatory properties. The method is good both for allergies and for other diseases associated with a lack of calcium.
The choice of any of the listed methods is carried out by the attending physician based on the general clinical picture.
Features of drug administration
The injections should be performed by a professional who is well familiar with the features of this product. So, with rapid intravenous administration, necrosis (tissue death) is possible, because a sufficiently high concentration of calcium chloride (10%) causes severe irritation. In addition, if administered ineptly, such injections will be very painful.
Do not inject this drug under the skin or into a muscle. If this does happen, you should try to immediately evacuate it from the injection site.
This is done using the same syringe and needle. In such cases, 10 ml of a 25% solution of magnesium sulfate or the same amount of sodium sulfate in the same concentration is injected locally. Intramuscularly, you can enter diphenhydramine - 1% solution as a sedative.
Treatment limitations
Although it seems that there is no wisdom in the way of using the drug, in fact, there are a number of limitations. For example, during the course of treatment with this tool, you must observe hypoallergenic diet... If a specific allergen is not identified, then a non-specific Ado diet is used. This means that all potentially dangerous products food, including citrus fruits and red berries (such as strawberries), chocolate, seafood, chicken and eggs. According to the doctor's prescription, you can simultaneously take sedatives if they do not interact with calcium chloride.
It is important to avoid any allergens. For example, at this time, you should not be in direct sunlight, since contact with them can also cause allergies. Do not take drugs that could potentially lead to allergic reactions. Moreover, even seemingly harmless aspirin or paracetamol belongs to this category.
As a rule, doctors additionally warn that in the presence of severe allergic reactions and the use of this medication, contact with very hot or very cold water, since it only increases excitability and increases side effects, that is, a sauna and hot tub are temporarily canceled. In general, at this time you need to treat your body as carefully as possible.
Interaction with other medications
The instructions indicate that calcium chloride should not be taken simultaneously with cardiac glycosides. However, research shows that the list is much broader. In particular, this solution should not be taken simultaneously with other heart blocking drugs. calcium channels(these are mutually exclusive drugs). In addition, it is contraindicated to drink it simultaneously with antibiotics of the tetracycline group, phosphorus preparations and drugs in which active ingredient sulfate compounds appear.
Together, these drugs can lead to tachycardia, depression normal functioning of cardio-vascular system, ventricular fibrillation (this disease is associated with a violation heart rate at which the reduction muscle fibers happens chaotically, which can lead to very serious negative consequences).
Contraindications
Before taking calcium chloride, you must read the instructions for use, in particular, with contraindications. The dosage and dosage regimen should be prescribed by the attending physician, who will prescribe accurate diagnosis... If you take a solution of calcium chloride without consulting a specialist, side effects may occur, and the effectiveness of the agent decreases.
After all, calcium chloride is not as harmless as it might seem at first glance. He has a whole list of contraindications.
So, it is impossible to drink calcium chloride with atherosclerosis and increased blood clotting. In addition, it should not be taken if there is a tendency to form blood clots.
Another contraindication is hypercalcemia, that is increased content calcium in blood plasma. The presence of this disease is confirmed by appropriate laboratory research... The point is that his clinical picture always smeared, and the symptoms are typical for other diseases.
This remedy is not used during pregnancy and lactation. The fact is that there is currently no data on how its use can affect the development of the fetus.
With caution, it is prescribed for children under the age of 12 years.
As mentioned, calcium chloride can interact with other drugs. Therefore, in each case, you first need to check according to the instructions, whether it is possible to take them at the same time.
Side effects
The use of calcium chloride can lead to certain side effects. They depend on how the drug is drunk. So, when taken internally, heartburn may occur. In some cases, even gastralgia (pain in the stomach, abdomen and pelvis).
When administered intravenously calcium chloride, side effects can vary. It can be a feeling of heat and redness of the skin of the face - the symptoms are unpleasant, but not dangerous. The sensation of heat occurs first in oral cavity, and then spreads fairly quickly throughout the body. Until a few decades ago, this phenomenon was even used to determine the speed of blood flow (the time between the moment the injection of this drug was injected and the moment the fever appeared) was recorded. Sometimes, at the same time, other side effects are observed: the appearance of a chalk taste in the mouth, nausea, dizziness, etc.
Bradycardia may occur - this is a decrease in heart rate. If it is insignificant, then there is no direct danger to human health. But if calcium chloride for allergies is taken for a long time, then the decrease in contractions can be quite serious. This leads to fainting conditions, and with the progression of bradycardia, the risk of cardiac arrest increases. Fortunately, this rarely happens. And this proves once again how important it is to consult a doctor when taking any drug.
Advantages and disadvantages
Summing up, it should be noted that the use of calcium chloride has both advantages and disadvantages. The indisputable advantages of this drug include:
- availability and low cost,
- complex action, which is achieved through a triple effect: anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and antispasmodic,
- quick achievement of the desired result.
However, calcium chloride has disadvantages. These include:
- the presence of sufficiently serious contraindications and side effects,
- as an independent remedy, calcium chloride is not effective enough in the treatment of allergies, therefore it is used only in combination with antihistamines.

Allergy is considered one of the most common diseases, more than 90% of the world's population suffer from it. This disease is a malfunction of the immune system, which reacts to external pathogens. Any antigen can cause allergies - food coloring, flavor, antibiotic, pollen, animal hair. Nasal congestion, itching, sneezing - these symptoms should be paid close attention to. V last resort development is possible anaphylactic shock, which is a critical condition.
Calcium chloride is the most widely studied antiallergic drug. Allergic reactions reduce the level of calcium in the blood plasma, causing its deficiency (hypocalcemia), which can lead to seizures. This practically indispensable trace element is involved in metabolism, transmission of nerve impulses, bone growth, contractions of smooth and skeletal muscles.
Despite the many positive qualities, calcium chloride is often the cause serious complications if it is not used correctly. It is strictly forbidden to inject calcium chloride under the skin and intramuscularly, which can lead to tissue necrosis (death).
Available as clear liquid for oral administration 10% concentration, and ampoules of 5 ml or 10 ml, in packs of 10 pieces. Water for injection serves as an auxiliary substance.
Application of calcium chloride:
- drink calcium chloride inside - after eating in the form of a 5-10% solution. The dose for an adult is 15 ml 2-3 times a day; for a child, 10ml up to 3 times a day;
- intravenously - with a dropper or jet. In the case of drip injection, 10 ml of a 10% solution is diluted with 200 ml of 5% glucose or isotonic sodium chloride solution and 6 drops are slowly injected over a minute. Jet injection - into a vein for at least 3 minutes;
- Electrophoresis (an electric current helps calcium to penetrate the subcutaneous layer);
When the drug is administered intravenously, the patient has a feeling of heat that spreads throughout the body. That is why calcium chloride is called a “hot shot.” Side effects can be pain in the gastrointestinal tract, heartburn, and slow heartbeats (bradycardia).
Indications for the use of calcium chloride are:
- allergy (seasonal pollen plants - hay fever, medicinal);
- an allergic reaction to the administration of the vaccine and serum (serum sickness, hay fever, edema);
- skin diseases- psoriasis, eczema, itching;
- (severe swelling of the neck, face, obstructing breathing);
- low blood calcium;
- failure of function parathyroid gland(spasmophilia);
- hepatitis (inflammation of the liver tissue), nephritis (inflammation of the kidney), late toxicosis of pregnant women;
- as a remedy for pulmonary, gastric, uterine, nosebleeds; before surgery or childbirth;
- as an antidote for poisoning with magnesium salts, oxalic and fluoric acids;
- long stay in an immobilized state;
- postoperative period;
- pulmonary tuberculosis;
- menopause;
Mechanism of action: with intravenous administration of calcium chloride, the adrenal glands increase the production of adrenaline, which leads to a decrease in vascular permeability, decreases the intake active substances from blood into tissue, edema, the number of skin rashes, itching, pain decreases. When the transmission of impulses in nerve fibers improves, contraction in the muscles of blood vessels and bronchi decreases, blood coagulation decreases, the body's immune response increases, and inflammatory response, increased resistance to infectious diseases.
Contraindications to the use of calcium chloride are:
- atherosclerosis;
- thrombosis;
- high blood calcium;
- incompatible with drugs containing phosphates, sulfates, salicylates, carbonates;
- should not be prescribed to pregnant and lactating women;
In addition to calcium chloride, the doctor may additionally add to the allergy treatment regimen:
- antihistamines (diazolin, loratadine, fenkarol, fenistil, zodak, telfast). Preference should be given to medicines of 3 generations - they do not affect the reaction rate, do not affect the physical and mental alertness... There is a rapid improvement curative action lasts two days.
- anti-inflammatory drugs (diclofenac, nimesil);
- enterospecialists (activated carbon, white carbon, atoxil, enterosgel). Cleanse well gastrointestinal tract from toxins;
- immunomodulators - restore weakened immune system, and an increased immune response is smoothed out, soothed (Cordyceps, Lingzhi, Echinacea, Immunal). Independent and uncontrolled use of immune means is harmful and dangerous - it threatens the failure of the immune system;
- sedatives (tavegil, suprastin, diphenhydramine, diazolin, fencarol, peritol). They have antiemetic, anti-pumping, anesthetic effects. A group of non-sedatives is also used drugs: claritil, semprex, fenistil, histalong, trexil;
- herbs or herbal picks;
- membrane stabilizers mast cells(cromohexal, intal);
- glucocorticoids (dexamethasone, prednisolone, hydrocortisone, betamethasone) in the form of ointments, creams, as well as sprays, nasal drops;
Appointment medicines other groups:
- at joint application calcium chloride reduces the effect of calcium channel blockers;
- use together with quinidine contributes to the growth of its toxicity;
- it is not recommended to prescribe together with cardiac glycosides, as cardiotoxicity increases;
During the course of treatment, it is necessary to avoid direct sunlight. It is necessary to exclude some food products: chocolate, citrus fruits, red fruits and vegetables), limit the consumption of sweets and seafood. Additionally, the therapist may prescribe sedatives.
Calcium chloride is freely sold in pharmacies, the package contains instructions for use indicating the exact dosage, composition, contraindications. However, in order to avoid complications, it can be used only as directed by the attending physician. At home, it can only be used externally. Health is priceless, take care of it!
Little is known about the harm of calcium chloride. Clinical trials have shown that with correct and rational use, the drug brings exclusively benefits to the body. Despite this, the attitude of doctors towards him remains ambiguous today. Some specialists actively use it in their practice, while others try not to prescribe it at all. In addition, calcium chloride is also used in Food Industry by acting as a chemical additive.
The use of calcium chloride as a medicine
The human body cannot develop and function normally if there is a calcium deficiency in it. This chemical element takes part in several hundred reactions and processes, in in kind is part of the teeth and bones. In medicine, calcium chloride is used for a reason to replenish the reserves of this substance. The human body does not perceive the mineral as it should in natural state... It assimilates only those calcium ions that are released from soluble salts.
Indications for taking the drug may include the following conditions:
- Deficiency of an element in the structure of bones.
- Disruption of the nervous system, heart or blood vessels.
- Various allergic manifestations.
Advice: It is strictly forbidden to inject calcium chlorine intramuscularly. The manipulation can lead to tissue necrosis, and the positive effect of the drug will be minimal.
- Propensity to inflammatory and colds.
- Bleeding of various nature.
- Weakness of labor.
- Poisoning with magnesium salts.
There are several options for supplying a medication to the body. This can be done by taking the drug orally, but the effectiveness of the product is reduced. A good effect is given by conducting electropharesis with healing remedy. The best option is the introduction of the composition intravenously (drip or jet). The session is not accompanied by the most pleasant sensations, but the product begins to act almost instantly.
The benefits of calcium chloride for the child's body
Pediatricians often prescribe calcium chloride to children during periods of intensive growth. This allows you to prevent the development of deficient conditions, to avoid problems with the formation and strengthening of bone tissue. In addition, the medication can be used to combat inflammatory processes and allergies.
Children are not very willing to accept the bitter-tasting composition, but sometimes it is he who helps to quickly and without side effects get rid of such unpleasant conditions, how:
- Allergy to pollen, food, honey and other bees.
- Vaccination reaction.
- Drug reaction.
- Angina or coughing against the background of a cold.
Benefits of Calcium Chloride for Adults
In the case of adults, all of the above indications apply. It is important to understand that the dosage, type of administration and duration of therapy can only be determined by a doctor. These parameters largely depend on the type of problem and the individual characteristics of the patient's body.
Calcium chloride can help with the following conditions:
- Severe allergic manifestations up to Quincke's edema.
- Liver lesions of a toxic nature.
- Serum sickness.
- Inflammatory processes in the liver, kidneys, lungs, appendages and uterus.
- Certain skin diseases (eczema, psoriasis).
Calcium chloride can react with certain medications. It is imperative to notify the doctor about taking medications, otherwise you can provoke the development of complications and side effects. The latter include bradycardia, fibrillation, pain in the stomach, and heartburn.
Application of E509 - food additive
In the food industry, calcium chloride is designated as food additive E509. The harm of the composition has not been proven, therefore the use chemical compound not prohibited. It is used for the following purposes:
- Thickening element in. Ions of the chemical bind proteins, so that the finished liquid is more saturated and homogeneous, rich in useful substances.
- Reducing the acidity of the cream from which it is prepared.
- Preservation of the elasticity of conservation, protection of the mass from excessive softening. Calcium chloride also enhances the taste, for example, makes the dish more salty.
- E509 is also used in the manufacturing process, preventing premature solidification of the mass.
- Calcium chloride is used especially actively for brewing beer. Food supplement regulates the acidity of the workpiece and compensates for the moisture deficit.
- In marmalade, the ingredient acts as a medium stabilizer. its introduction improves the coagulability of the composition.
- Calcium chloride also softens meat fibers, gives the dough lightness and airiness.
Calcium deficiency in childhood or adulthood may occur with hormonal problems, dehydration, long-term use medicines. If treatment is not started on time, seizures leading to critical conditions. But this does not mean that you can prescribe calcium chloride yourself. Taking the drug in any form must be agreed with your doctor.
