Intravenous calcium gluconate for prostatitis

Calcium gluconate injections

Injection preparation Calcium gluconate is a drug that belongs to the pharmacological group of microelements. It is used to reduce the severity of allergic reactions, stop bleeding and restore other physiological reactions that require the participation of calcium ions.

Form of release and composition

Solution for parenteral administration Calcium gluconate is a colorless transparent liquid. The main active ingredient of the drug is calcium gluconate, its content in 10 ml of solution is 1 g (10% solution). The solution is in a sealed 10 ml white glass ampoule. A cardboard pack contains 10 ampoules with a solution and instructions for using the drug.

Pharmacological action

Calcium is a microelement that takes part in the normal course of many physiological processes in the human body. In particular, calcium ions are involved in the transmission of nerve impulses in the structures of the nervous system, neuromuscular synapses. Also, calcium is one of the main compounds that are necessary for normal blood clotting. After parenteral administration of the drug, it quickly accumulates in the blood, is almost evenly distributed in all tissues and is included in the mineral metabolism.

Indications for use

Parenteral administration of calcium gluconate solution is indicated for certain pathological conditions, accompanied by a decrease in the level of calcium ions in the blood, as well as for the normal course of physiological processes that require the participation of this trace element. These indications include:

• Hypocalcemia of various origins is a decrease in the level of calcium ions in the body below normal.
• Hypoparathyroidism is an insufficient functional activity of the parathyroid glands, which leads to a significant decrease in the level of calcium in the body.
• Parenchymal hepatitis (inflammation of the parenchyma of an organ) and toxic damage to the liver.
• Jade (inflammation of the kidneys), which increases the excretion of calcium ions in the urine.
• Complex therapy of inflammatory processes of various origin and localization, which are accompanied by severe exudation (blood plasma effusion into the intercellular substance of tissues due to an inflammatory increase in the permeability of the vascular walls).
• Treatment of allergic reactions with concomitant use of antihistamine (antiallergic) drugs.
• As an additional hemostatic agent in the treatment of gastrointestinal, pulmonary, nasal, uterine bleeding in women.

Also, a solution for parenteral administration is indicated as an antidote for poisoning with magnesium salts, oxalic acid and its oxalate salts.

Contraindications for use

The use of a solution for parenteral administration of Calcium gluconate is contraindicated in hypercalcemia (increased levels of calcium ions in the blood and body), hypercalciuria (intense increased excretion of calcium ions by the kidneys with urine), severe renal failure with a pronounced decrease in kidney functionality, a tendency to thrombosis ( intravascular thrombus formation). Also, the drug is contraindicated in the presence of individual intolerance to calcium gluconate.

Method of application and dosage

Solution for parenteral administration Calcium gluconate is administered intramuscularly or intravenously. The introduction itself is performed slowly, within 2-3 minutes. Immediately before using the drug, ampoules with a solution of Calcium gluconate must be heated to body temperature (up to +37 C). The average dosage for adults is 5-10 ml of solution 1 time per day every day or 1 time in 2-3 days. For children, the drug is administered in an amount of 1-5 ml of solution every 2-3 days. For children, intramuscular administration of the drug is not recommended, which is associated with a higher risk of developing necrosis (death) of muscles in the area of injection of the solution. The doctor sets the dosage, regimen and duration of the course of use of the drug individually, depending on the age, sex, weight of the patient, as well as the severity and nature of the pathological process.

Side effects

Parenteral administration of calcium gluconate solution can lead to the development of several side effects and adverse reactions, which include:

• Nausea, with occasional vomiting, diarrhea (diarrhoea).
• Bradycardia is a decrease in heart rate.
• In the area of injection of the solution, a local irritation reaction may develop in the form of reddening of the skin, its swelling and the appearance of pain. Rarely (especially in children), muscle necrosis is possible with intramuscular injection of the drug.

If side effects develop, the use of a solution for parenteral administration of Calcium gluconate is stopped.

Special Instructions

Before you start using the drug, you should make sure that there are no contraindications to its use, you should also pay attention to a few special instructions, which include:

• During the use of the drug, it is necessary to strictly observe the rules of asepsis to prevent infection of the injection site.
• Intramuscular administration of the drug to children is excluded.
• The parenteral solution should be used with caution in pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as in those with concomitant mild to moderate renal insufficiency.
• If there is a slight concomitant hypercalciuria, it is recommended to periodically monitor the electrolyte state of the blood.
• The presence of urolithiasis is the basis for periodic monitoring of the level of excretion of calcium ions in the urine during the use of the drug.
• Simultaneous use of calcium gluconate injection solution with drugs of other pharmacological groups can lead to drug interactions, in particular, it reduces the activity of calcium channel blockers (verapamil and analogues).
• There are currently no data on the direct effect of the drug on the functional activity of the cerebral cortex and other structures of the central nervous system.

In the pharmacy network, calcium gluconate injection solution is dispensed by prescription. It is not allowed to administer it to persons without medical education due to the high risk of complications, in particular infection of the injection site.

Overdose

When the recommended therapeutic dose is significantly exceeded, signs of hypercalcemia develop, which include anorexia (lack of appetite), polyuria (increased urine output), arrhythmia (violation of the rhythm and heart rate), nausea, periodic vomiting and diarrhea. In this case, symptomatic therapy is carried out.

Calcium gluconate injections analogues

Similar to calcium gluconate solution in terms of active substance and clinical and pharmacological effects are calcium gluconate tablets, calcium gluconate solution stabilized.

Terms and conditions of storage

The shelf life of the solution for parenteral administration of calcium gluconate is 2.5 years from the date of its manufacture. The drug should be stored out of the reach of children at an air temperature not higher than +25 C, freezing of the solution should not be allowed. After opening the ampoule, the drug must be used immediately.

Calcium gluconate for prostatitis

Erectile dysfunction, prostatitis

Hello Dear Experts! I am writing to you on behalf of my husband.

About three or four years ago, my husband worked on the street in the winter and caught a cold. this is where it all started: pain in the groin, pain when urinating, refusing to have sex.

I made an appointment with a urologist, did an ultrasound scan and tests for infections. No infections were found, and according to the results of the ultrasound analysis, chronic prostatitis.

Treatment: Vitamin E, Prostatilen injections, Aescusan.

The treatment didn't work. prescribed to drink ProstamolUno - nothing.

We went with the results of the tests to another urologist, he spread his hands, chuckling said to drink Viagra. What kind of mockery?

We have sex once every 4-6 months, my husband has problems with erection: he is poorly excited, his penis is sluggish, and falls quickly. says that it hurts in the groin, most often in the morning on a full bladder.

About him. 29 years old, height 175 cm, weight 85 kg. smokes, drinks beer, hypertension.

Now passed tests for infection - not detected.the result of the ultrasound is as follows: URINARY BLADDER Shape (usual) V 229.2, the contour is clear, even, the symmetry is preserved, the wall is not thickened, the internal structure is homogeneous, the volume of urine remains is 19.0 cm. the severity of the capsule is clear in all departments, not thickened, the size is not increased - anterior-posterior 2.9 cm, transverse 2.6 s, upper-lower 3.4 cm, volume 13.0 cm. Echogenicity is increased. The structure is homogeneous, diffusely compacted. Conclusion: Diffuse changes in the structure of the prostate.

I flatly refuse to go to the doctors, pumping out money. We fight over this and because of irregular sex, the marriage is on the verge. Maybe the reason is still in my head?

Calcium gluconate for prostatitis

The invention relates to medicine and can be used to treat Inflammatory diseases of various etiology and localization. To do this, 1-5 ml of a 10% solution of calcium gluconate is administered intravenously. Then, 1-10 ml of a 0.5% novocaine solution is injected subcutaneously in the region of the location of the regional inflammatory focus of the lymph nodes. After that, with an interval of 5 minutes, alternately and sequentially, together with 0.5-1.0 ml of a 0.5% solution of novocaine, 0.2-1.0 ml of a solution of furosemide, no-shpa, analgin and dexamethasone are injected there, as well as a solution containing 0.2-0.5 ml of cefazolin, or ampiox, or claforan. Procedures are carried out once a day for 3-5 days. EFFECT: invention makes it possible to increase the effectiveness of treatment due to the directed introduction into the lymphatic system, in the immediate vicinity of the site of inflammation, of a combination of drugs that provide a multicomponent effect on all links of pathogenesis in inflammation.

The invention relates to medicine and can be used in the treatment of various inflammatory diseases with different localization of inflammatory processes, in particular in inflammatory processes of the genitourinary system (endometritis, prostatitis, orchitis, cystitis, pyelonephritis); with inflammation of the shoulder nerve (plexitis); with inflammation of the lymph nodes (lymphadenitis)

Inflammatory diseases of various organs are a common pathology that determines the development of a number of complications, disability and disability of the population. Therefore, the development of methods for treating this pathology has always been a topical issue.

In the treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory processes, traditional methods of introducing drugs into the body are widely used. However, they often turn out to be ineffective.

Recently, endolymphatic and lymphotropic routes of drug administration have become widespread. The fact of increasing the effectiveness of antibiotics, immunomodulators, proteolytic inhibitors, cytostatics, etc., is indisputable when they are directed into the lymphatic system (Levin Yu. M. Basics of therapeutic lymphology. M. Medicine, 1986, 288 p. and Buyanov V. M. and other Medicinal saturation of the lymphatic system, Kiev, 1991, 134 p.).

The closest analogue can be considered a method for treating an inflammatory process, for example, a method for treating nonspecific metroendometritis and acute inflammatory diseases of the uterine appendages, which consists in the fact that during laparoscopy a microirrigator is installed between the sheets of the wide uterine ligament and secured with one or two Vicryl sutures. Through the microirrigator, an antibiotic is administered lymphotropically once a day for 3-5 days (Goldyreva E.V. Clinical and morphological substantiation of the method of lymphotropic therapy for acute nonspecific metroendometritis, Abstract of the thesis. candidate of medical sciences Novosibirsk, 2000, 23 pp.).< /p>

However, this method is not without drawbacks, since it requires intervention in a specialized clinic with surgical intervention, which, when infected, may be accompanied by the spread of microorganisms to surrounding tissues, followed by suppuration and generalization of the process. In addition, this method requires appropriate tools and is expensive.

The purpose of the invention is to achieve the effect of treatment with the simplicity of the method due to the combination of the pharmacological activity of the selected drugs, providing a multicomponent effect on all links of pathogenesis in inflammation.

The method is carried out as follows. Before the start of each lymphotherapy procedure, 1-5 ml of a 10% solution of calcium gluconate is administered intravenously.Then, in the area of location of the regional inflammatory focus of the lymph nodes, subcutaneously, without removing the needle, 1-10 ml of a 0.5% solution of novocaine is injected and then, with an interval of 5 minutes, the following drugs are administered alternately and sequentially in the form of official solutions: 0.2-1.0 ml of furosemide, 0.2-1.0 ml of no-shpa, 0.2-1.0 ml of analgin, 0.2-0.5 ml of dexamethasone and a solution containing 0.2-0.5 mg of cefazolin or ampiox , or klaforan, while the introduction of furosemide, no-shpy, analgin and dexamethasone is carried out together with 0.5-1.0 ml of a 0.5% solution of novocaine. To prepare an antibiotic solution, dilute 1000 mg of the antibiotic with 10 ml of novocaine solution. The procedure is performed once a day for 3 to 5 days, depending on the duration of the inflammatory process (if the process is chronic, then 5 procedures).

Calcium gluconate intravenously

Calcium gluconate is prescribed intravenously for a variety of diseases. This method of administration is much more effective and better absorbed by the body than taking pills.

What is intravenous calcium gluconate used for?

It's no secret that calcium plays an important role in building the body. During diseases, it can be partially washed out of the body, which is artificially replenished with an injection of calcium gluconate intravenously. This is done when a quick effect is needed, because this remedy contributes to many processes in the body. So, for example, the drug is necessary for the process of transmission of nerve impulses, myocardial activity, as well as smooth muscle contraction. It helps the blood to clot well, and this remedy is also actively used for various inflammatory diseases. For example, calcium gluconate is often prescribed for bronchitis. Another drug is used as a hemostatic agent, as well as reducing vascular permeability.

Indications for the use of intravenous calcium gluconate:

• for bleeding of various origins;
• with increased excretion of calcium from the body, for example, as a result of dehydration;
• allergic reactions and diseases, such as pruritic dermatosis or urticaria;
• eclampsia;
• pulmonary tuberculosis;
• lead colic;
• toxic liver damage;
• insufficient function of the parathyroid glands;
• parenchymal hepatitis;
• hyperkalemic form of paroxysmal myoplegia;
• hemorrhagic vasculitis;
• radiation sickness;
• jade;
• in case of poisoning with salts of magnesium, oxalic acid, fluoric acid.

Doctors often prescribe intravenous calcium gluconate for allergies in combination with other antihistamines. What is the mechanism of action of the remedy in this case? Since the drug helps to reduce the permeability of the walls of blood vessels, allergens are not able to enter the bloodstream. Gluconate affects the connective tissue, thereby contributing to a quick recovery.

Calcium gluconate intravenously - side effects

It is worth noting that this drug may have the following contraindications:

• hypercalcemia;
• hypersensitivity;
• sarcoidosis;
• severe hypercalciuria;
• nephrourolithiasis;
• reception of cardiac glycosides;
• under 3 years of age;
• increased blood clotting;
• thrombosis.

Also, after taking it, the following side effects may appear:

• nausea;
• vomit;
• diarrhea;
• slow pulse;
• hypercalcemia;
• necrosis at injection sites.

Drug administration

It is very important to know how to administer calcium gluconate intravenously correctly?This drug can be administered both intramuscularly and intravenously. Before direct administration, the ampoule should be warmed to body temperature. To do this, hold it in your hands or vigorously rub it between your palms. The solution should be injected very slowly, approximately 1.5 ml over one minute. This should be done so that no adverse reactions occur after the rapid administration of the drug into a vein. The longer the warm preparation is administered, the better. Depending on the disease, the medicine can be prescribed either every day or every other day.

Calcium gluconate and alcohol

When taking any medication, doctors strongly recommend that you refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages. This is due to the fact that they can reduce their effectiveness, inhibit absorption or cause unwanted side reactions of the body. Therefore, during the treatment period, you should not drink alcohol-containing drinks.
