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.

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.
