Description

Calcium Chloride PFS 10% 10 mL is a sterile, hypertonic solution supplied in a prefilled Luer-Jet syringe designed for precise and efficient administration. It is used for the treatment of acute hypocalcemia, hyperkalemia, and calcium channel blocker overdose, as well as cardiac resuscitation during advanced life support protocols. The prefilled syringe format ensures rapid availability in emergency settings, reducing preparation time and enabling accurate dosing.

Each milliliter of the solution contains 100 mg of calcium chloride, equivalent to 27.2 mg of elemental calcium. Calcium chloride rapidly increases serum calcium levels, aiding in stabilizing cardiac membranes and restoring proper neuromuscular and cardiac function. Its hypertonic nature requires careful administration to avoid irritation or tissue damage, necessitating intravenous use under controlled conditions.

The Luer-Jet syringe ensures a secure and reliable connection to intravenous catheters, minimizing the risk of disconnection during administration. The syringe is specifically designed for single use, maintaining sterility and preventing contamination, which is critical in emergency and critical care scenarios.
