It is usually given as an oral dosage form, but may also be used intravenously. Calcium chloride dihydrate can quickly increase calcium concentration in the blood and help maintain the body's normal calcium balance. When using, you should strictly follow the dosage recommended by your doctor or pharmacist to avoid possible side effects and problems caused by overdose. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, thirst, and constipation. If serious adverse reactions occur, seek medical attention immediately. Before using calcium chloride dihydrate, your doctor should be informed about allergic reactions, existing medical conditions, and other medications you are taking to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Directions for use: Take calcium chloride dihydrate as directed by your physician or pharmacist. It is usually recommended to take it after a meal to reduce the possibility of stomach upset. High-calcium foods such as dairy products or nuts should be avoided while taking it.
Dosage Guidelines: The usual starting dose for adults is 1,000 mg to 2,000 mg daily, divided into multiple doses. Your physician may adjust the dose based on blood calcium levels and severity of your condition. Dosage for children is based on age and weight, and it is generally recommended that the daily dose be no more than half the adult dose. Do not adjust the dosage on your own, but follow your doctor's instructions.
