Calcium Glubionate 1.8 Gm/5 ml Oral Syrup (Vet) is a specialized veterinary prescription medication designed to treat a range of diseases in animals. This formulation contains the calcium salt of glubionate, a form of calcium that is readily absorbed by the body. It is primarily used to address conditions such as hypocalcemia, hypoparathyroidism, and other calcium-related deficiencies. Additionally, it can be used to manage certain types of seizures and to mitigate the risk of calcium-related bone diseases.

The medication is presented in a concentrated liquid formulation, which includes active ingredients and sweeteners. This design makes it a palatable and easy-to-administer dosage form, particularly useful for pediatric animals or those with difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules. The oral syrup is typically administered once or twice daily, depending on the severity of the condition being treated. However, the exact dosage should be determined by a veterinarian, taking into account factors such as the animal's size, age, and overall health condition.

While Calcium Glubionate 1.8 Gm/5 ml Oral Syrup (Vet) is generally well tolerated, potential side effects may include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. If any of these side effects occur, it is crucial to contact a veterinarian immediately.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
