Contraindications
 Conditions associated with hypercalcaemia and hypercalciuria.
Warnings / Precautions
 Renal impairment (frequent monitoring of serum calcium and phosphorus is recommended); sarcoidosis; history of nephrolithiasis. Avoid IV admin of calcium in patients on cardiac glycosides. Increased risk of hypercalcaemia and hypercalciuria in hypoparathyroid patients receiving high doses of vitamin D. Caution when used in patients with history of kidney stones. Patients should be advised to administer vitamin D concurrently to optimise calcium absorption. Pregnancy.
Adverse Reactions
 Gi discomfort e.g. constipation, nausea, vomiting, bloating and gas. Dry mouth, hypercalcaemia, hypophosphataemia, milk-alkali syndrome.
Drug Interactions
 May reduce the efficacy of calcium-channel blockers. Concurrent admin of IV calcium salt with cardiac glycosides may lead to serious adverse events. Increased risk of hypercalcaemia when used with thiazide diuretics. May reduce absorption of tetracycline, alendronate, atenolol, iron, quinolone antibiotics, sodium fluoride and zinc.

Mechanism of Actions
 Calcium phosphate is used to prevent or treat negative calcium balance. It prevents or reduces the rate of bone loss. The calcium in calcium salts aids in nerve and muscle performance and allows normal cardiac function.
Absorption: Absorbed largely from the small intestine by active transport and passive diffusion.
Distribution: Crosses the placenta and is distributed into breast milk.
Excretion: Excess calcium is mainly excreted renally. Unabsorbed calcium is removed in the faeces, along with that secreted in the bile and pancreatic juice.
