Indications
Calate is used mainly to treat calcium deficiency, which occurs most often in growing children and in pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. It is especially useful for relieving the symptoms of hypocalcemia, such as paresthesia (tingling or numbness), carpopedal spasm, muscle cramps, increased muscle excitability leading to tetany, convulsions, mental changes, dermatitis and ECG changes.
⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pharmacology
Calcium Lactate works through three main actions. It supplements dietary calcium, it neutralizes gastric acid in peptic ulcer disease, and it binds phosphorus in the intestine to lower the total phosphate buildup seen in chronic renal disease. By reducing serum phosphate concentration in this way, it also helps ensure calcium phosphate is properly deposited in bone and soft tissue.
