The ingredients are uniformly dispersed throughout a liquid medium, ensuring a homogeneous mixture for administration. This formulation is contraindicated in patients with hypercalcemia, renal impairment, or a history of kidney stones.

Patients using this formulation should be closely monitored for signs and symptoms of hypercalcemia, which may include nausea, vomiting, constipation, and confusion.

It is crucial to be aware that this formulation may interact with other medications, including diuretics, antacids, and vitamin D supplements.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Calcium Gluconate 134.4 mg/ml/Calcium Citrate 59.4 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a compounded formulation that combines two calcium salts, calcium gluconate and calcium citrate, in a homogeneous liquid mixture. This formulation is primarily used to treat conditions such as hypocalcemia, osteoporosis, and rickets, as well as to prevent and treat calcium deficiencies that may be caused by certain medications, including diuretics.

Calcium gluconate, a salt of gluconic acid and calcium, is utilized to treat hypocalcemia, a condition characterized by low calcium levels in the blood. On the other hand, calcium citrate, a salt of citric acid and calcium, is used to treat osteoporosis and rickets, conditions that affect the strength and structure of bones.

When administered orally, this formulation is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, leading to a quick increase in calcium levels. It is crucial to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider to avoid hypercalcemia, a condition characterized by excessively high calcium levels in the blood.

Please note that this formulation should not be taken if you have an allergy to any of the ingredients or if you have kidney disease, as it can lead to serious side effects. Additionally, it is important to inform your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as the safety of this formulation in these cases may not be guaranteed.

If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to helping you find the most suitable treatment for your condition.

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.
