CALCIUMBoth plants and animals contain calcium in
some combined form In animals it is the primary element in
bonesReduction in the amount of ionized
calcium n the blood causes a hypocalcemic tetany characterized by an increase irritability of all types of nerves and muscles

CALCIUMSerum calcium in excess has the opposite
effect and from the pharmacological point of view may be considered as sedative
Calcium has a cardiac action similar to digitales The cardiac effects of calcium are related
to the delicate balance between calcium and potassium ion

CALCIUMEither one in excess when in excess
causing cessation of the heartExcess potassium causes a diastolic arrest,
whereas excess calcium causes systolic arrest
Oral administration of calcium salts durimg calcium therapy is not necessarily contraindicated because it is difficult to achieve a significant rise in blood calciun by this route

CALCIUMIt is necessary to observe great care if
large doses of vit D or parathyroid extract are being administered simultaneously
Calcium decreases the permeability of the capillaries and thereby prevents edemas
Cacium has a role in blood clotting however, calcium deficiency is the cause of prolonged clotting
![Page 6: Dr. Althea R. Arenajo. CALCIUM Both plants and animals contain calcium in some combined form In animals it is the primary element in bones Reduction in](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649db45503460f94aa5593/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
CALCIUMNutritional deficiency of calcium lead to
faulty growthThe need for calcium therapy in this
condition may result from insufficient intake, insufficient Vit D
Vit D is essential for the maximum absorption of dietary calcium
Insufficient calcium in the diet together with too little calcium in the skeleton

CALCIUM results in rickets in children and
osteomalacia in adultsNew use of calcium salts is in the control
or relief of various allergic manifestations – eczema, pruritis, and urticaria
Some of the insoluble calcium salts are used as gastric anatacids and do not cause systemic alkalosis
