Calcium carbonate is a common calcium supplement used to treat calcium deficiency or insufficient calcium absorption. It helps maintain healthy bones and teeth, and supports nerve, muscle and heart function. Calcium carbonate is usually taken orally and is easily absorbed by the body.
In Hong Kong, calcium carbonate is commonly used to treat conditions such as osteoporosis, calcium supplementation during pregnancy, and calcium malabsorption. But people with hypercalcemia or kidney problems should use calcium carbonate with caution.
When taking calcium carbonate, you should use it according to the dosage recommended by your doctor or pharmacist to avoid interactions with other medications. Possible side effects include constipation or diarrhea, so diet and fluid intake should be monitored.
If you have any discomfort or questions, you should consult a medical professional immediately.
How to use: Please take this medicine according to the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist. It is usually recommended to take it after a meal to aid absorption. Please avoid taking it with foods containing high calcium to avoid affecting the efficacy of the medicine. Avoid excessive exercise or activities that require high alertness while taking this product.
Dosage Guidelines: Adults are generally recommended to take 500 mg to 1000 mg orally each time, divided into 2 to 3 times a day. For children, dosage needs to be adjusted based on age and weight. The starting dose is usually lower and can be adjusted later based on the advice of your medical professional. Do not adjust the dosage yourself. If you have any questions, please ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Calcium gluconate should be used with caution during pregnancy. Before using this medication, patients should seek medical advice about the effects of the medication on pregnancy and the fetus. Research shows that long-term use of high-dose calcium supplements during pregnancy may have adverse effects on the fetus, so excessive use of calcium supplements should be avoided. During pregnancy, you should try to follow your doctor's advice and do not change the dosage or stop using calcium gluconate on your own. If patients have any discomfort or concerns, they should seek help from their doctor promptly.
In addition, avoid using it with other calcium-containing supplements during pregnancy to avoid increasing calcium intake and affecting the fetus. If there is anything unclear, patients should communicate with their doctor to ensure the safety and effectiveness of calcium gluconate. We hope that the above information will help patients use calcium gluconate correctly during pregnancy to protect the health of mother and child.
