Treatment for verapamil overdose includes gastric lavage, administration of activated charcoal, symptomatic and supportive cardiovascular treatment, and calcium gluconate injection. Verapamil should be used carefully with calcium salts, beta-blockers, antineoplastics, antiepileptics, antibacterials, anxiolytics, and anti-arrhythmics. 

Calcium gluconate injection (American Regent) is a saturated solution of 10% w/v. Calcium D-saccharate tetrahydrate 0.46% w/v is added to prevent crystallization during temperature fluctuations. 

Anonymous, Calcium gluconate injection. New contraindications due to risk of aluminum exposure. WHO Newslett 2010 5 1. 

Calcium gluconate injections into the areas of the wound (0.5 cc/cm of 10 % calcium gluconate) have also been used with success. Nevertheless calcium salts may be directly toxic to tissues, and this prohibits the use of calcium chloride. Infiltration is painful particularly into areas with limited tissue laxity as the fingers. Palmar fasciotomy may be needed to relieve pressure after tissue injections. The use of local anesthesia to enable infiltration is controversial because it removes a valuable clinical indicator of effectiveness of treatment. 

Warm solutions to body temperature and give slowly (0.5 to 2 mL/min) stop if patient complains of discomfort. Resume when symptoms disappear. Following injection, patient should remain recumbent for a short time. Repeated injections may be needed because of the rapid calcium excretion. Inject calcium chloride and gluconate through a small needle into a large vein to minimize venous irritation. 

CALCIUM GLUCONATE- For IV use only, either directly or by infusion. Do not exceed a rate of 0.5 to 2 mL/min. Calcium gluconate may also be administered by intermittent infusion at a rate not exceeding 200 mg/min, or by continuous infusion. Discontinue injection if the patient complains of discomfort. 

Several uses have been suggested for levulinic acid and its salts. Thus, calcium levulinate seems to have advantages as a calcium carrier in tuberculosis therapy, and it is said to be more suitable than calcium gluconate for intravenous injection. A mercury salt, phenyl mercury... 

Parenteral 1.1 g/5 mL solution for IM or IV injection Calcium gluconate [9% calcium] (generic)... 

Calcium gluconate 1 g (10 mL) is given by slow intravenous injection (over 10 min) for magnesium toxicity. 

Soybean oil emulsions have been reported to be incompatible at 25°C with a number of materials including calcium chloride, calcium gluconate, magnesium chloride, phenytoin sodium, and tetracycline hydrochloride. Lower concentrations of these materials, or lower storage temperatures, may result in improved compatibility. The source of the material may also affect compatibility for example, while one injection from a particular manufacturer might be incompatible with a fat emulsion, an injection with the same amount of active drug substance from another manufacturer might be compatible. 

Intravenous injection of calcium gluconate can antagonize the cardiac effects of excess potassium. Also, intravenous injection of sodium bicarbonate and glucose will help diminish the effects of potassium hemodialysis overdose, while dialysis can be used to remove excess serum potassium. 

Koehnlein et al.184 have found that the healing times of HF burns on rats (i) after injection with calcium gluconate, (ii) after injection with calcium gluconate and hyaluronidase, and (iii) with no treatment at all, were 34, 27, and 17 days, respectively. Furthermore, they observed that excision of damaged tissue resulted in primary wound healing after 7 days. 

I, 1,1 -trichloroethane and other halogenated hydrocarbons are generally supportive and rely on the body s ability to eliminate rapidly 1,1,1-trichloroethane and its metabolites. Animal studies indicate that intravenous injection or infusion of calcium gluconate or phenylephrine are protective against acute blood pressure reduction caused by exposure to 1,1,1-trichloroethane (Herd et al. 1974). Further animal testing is needed to assess whether these compounds might be used to resuscitate individuals exposed to high concentrations of 1,1,1-trichloroethane. 

Too high concentrations of the active compound at the injection site (initial peak concentrations) are avoided in masking the irritating agent through complexation. The free concentrations of iron or of calcium are reduced in using calcium gluconate or levulinate for intravenous injections and iron-sorbitol citrate for intramuscular injections. ...
