Frequently asked questions FOR Allercalcin

Calcium Gluconate

Q. Is Calcium Gluconate good for health?
When your body has a calcium deficiency, it fulfills that need by using the calcium present in your bones, thereby weakening them. Calcium Gluconate prevents this weakening of bones by supplementing your body with the amount of calcium it needs to keep the bones strong and prevent any bone disorders.
Q. When should you not use Calcium Gluconate?
This medicine should not be given if you already have high calcium levels in your blood. Your doctor will advise you to get a blood test done before starting your treatment with Calcium Gluconate.
Q. Can excess calcium be harmful?
If you take calcium supplements and eat calcium-rich/fortified foods, you may be getting more calcium than you realize. Excess calcium can cause bloating, constipation, a chalky taste in your mouth, and an increased risk of kidney stones, prostate cancer, and heart disease.

Q. Why do you need calcium?
We all know that calcium plays an important role in maintaining strong bones and building strong teeth. This essential mineral also facilitates nerve signal transmission, helps in blood clotting, and aids in the contraction and relaxation of muscles. Since most of the calcium you obtain from your diet gets stored in bones and teeth, lack of this mineral can impair your bone health and up the risk of osteoporosis. This is the reason, you must fulfill your daily needs of calcium to keep your bones healthy and to maintain your overall well-being.
Q. What to do if you have low calcium levels?
Based on your calcium blood test reports, your doctor may advise you to increase your intake of foods rich in calcium. Foods that are rich in calcium include dairy products such as milk, yogurt, and cheese, oranges, and foods that have added calcium like breakfast cereals, soymilk, bread. In cases of severe calcium deficiency, calcium supplements might be prescribed. Remember that calcium supplements should always be taken as per your doctor’s advice.
