Calcium carbonate dosage

There are many trade-name products for calcium carbonate (e.g., Calel-D, Caltrate, Os-Cal). Only calcium carbonate alternative dosage forms (i.e., chewable, liquid, power) are specifically listed. 

After equilibrium, filtration, and pH adjustment, the residual calcium ion concentration was then titrated by EDTA solution. A higher residual calcium ion concentration indicates better inhibition activity and, therefore, more effectiveness in controlling calcium carbonate deposition in the treated water. As shown in Table III, at dosages of 1 to 5 ppm, the polyacrylic acid was more effective than the acrylic acid/N-(hydroxyalkyl)-acrylamide copolymers. 

Treatment of severe symptomatic hypocalcemia can be accomplished with slow infusion of 5-20 mL of 10% calcium gluconate. Rapid infusion can lead to cardiac arrhythmias. Less severe hypocalcemia is best treated with oral forms sufficient to provide approximately 400-1200 mg of elemental calcium (1-3 g calcium carbonate) per day. Dosage must... 

In a project at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, researchers found that twenty-three women who took 1.5 grams or 2 grams of calcium carbonate supplements daily throughout pregnancy decreased their diastolic blood pressure by 4 to 7 mm Hg. The higher calcium dosage yielded the more dramatic blood pressure improvements. Results were the same in both white and black women. 

Turbidity removal by dolomite coagulation proceeded in a manner different from that of colour removal. Figure 4 relates the removal efficiency to the dosage of coagulant B. Thus, during coagulation of solution 1 which had an initial turbidity T = 0, the samples became turbid. This should be attributed to the precipitation of fine-crystalline calcium carbonate particles. When the dosage...

Calcium s most common adverse reaction, constipation, can be treated with increased water intake, dietary fiber (given separately from calcium), and exercise. Calcium carbonate can create gas, causing stomach upset, or absorb acid and relieve stomach upset. Food sources may be better tolerated. In some cases, the dosage may need to be lowered and reinstated slowly over time. 

Calcium supplements had no effect on plasma levels of nelfinavir or its M8 metabolite in 15 patients receiving nelfinavir 1.25 g twice daily as part of a HAART regimen. Calcium was given as calcium carbonate 1350 mg twice daily to 9 patients, and calcium gluconate/calcium carbonate 2950/300 mg twice daily to 6 patients, both for 14 days. Plasma levels of nelfinavir were measured before a dose and 3 hours after a dose. Similar results were reported in another study. No nelfinavir dosage adjustments appear necessary if calcium supplements are given. 

Sodiumhexametaphosphate (SHMP) is a threshold agent derived from the dehydration of orthophosphoric acid or its sodium salt. It is used to inhibit the formation of calcium carbonate and metalHc sulphate scale. It is mosdy widely used because it offers good inhibition at a low cost. Depending on the concentration of calcium and sulphate, and depending on the CF (Equation 2.31), the dosage is in the range of 2-5 ppm. SHMP can prevent calcium sulphate precipitation up to 150% of the saturation limit. Organopho-sphonates are an improvement over SHMP since they are more resistant to hydrolysis, but are more expensive. They offer scale inhibition and dispersion abihty similar to SHMP [14,40,41].

Nevertheless, for waste paper recycling the plateau values of the isotherm are not decisive. With 0.2% dosage of the cationic polymer and 1 % stock consistency, the initial concentration is only 20 mg/1. Due to the steeper slope of the adsorption isotherm on the fillers, the polymer should preferentially be adsorbed on the fillers. Figure 5 shows the flotation recovery of all three solid materials — calcium carbonate, kaolin, and cellulose. These flotation tests were performed with pure systems. The solid content was the same as in waste paper recycling 1 and 0.2% for fibers and fillers, respectively. At a concentration of 20 mg/1, the recovery of kaolin is higher than 90%, while 70% of calcium carbonate are floated. However, with the same initial concentration the recovery of the cellulose fibers is below 20%. In comparison with the adsorption isotherms it can be concluded that the adsorbed amount of the cationic polymer is too low in order to hydrophobize the cellulose surface. Thus, the cationic polymer is a selective collector with respect to filler pigments. This fact has been confirmed by flotation tests with synthetic mixtures of cellulose and fillers [30]. 

Manufacture of HGC dosage forms compared with tablets requires minimum formulation efforts and usually involves granulation of the API powders with diluents such as lactose, mannitol, calcium carbonate, and lubricants such as magnesium stearate. Prior to filling the capsules with the granulated API powder, the body and cap are separated. The cap is replaced after completion of the filling... 

PVC is very sensitive to thermal degradation compared to other thermoplastics. Thermal stabilizers are used about 0.3 to 3.0 phr, depending on heat history of the compoimd. Calcium carbonate is the most widely used filler used in rigid PVC. The usual dosage levels of calcium carbonate ranges from about 3 to 10 phr however, in sewer pipe and conduit application, 40 phr are used. Calcium stearate is the most common lubricant for PVC compound. It has both internal and external lubrication characteristics, and it provides improved fusion time, better metal release, and reduced melt viscosity.
