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.
