Calcium gluconate is an intravenous or oral calcium salt used in the treatment and prevention of hypocalcemia, as well as in conditions like tetany, hypoparathyroidism, and for hyperkalemia or hypermagnesemia emergencies. It is also used topically (ATC D11AX03) for treating skin burns from hydrofluoric acid. It is approved and currently used for these indications.
No specific pharmacokinetic models reporting volume of distribution, clearance, or related PK model parameters for topical or systemic (IV, oral) calcium gluconate were found in indexed scientific literature for healthy adults or patient populations; estimates provided are based on calcium PK properties and clinical use.
