Calcium Gluconate Injection 100mg/ml is a critical medication used to rapidly increase calcium levels in the blood, especially in emergency situations like severe hypocalcemia, hyperkalemia, or magnesium overdose. However, its side effects can be severe and even life-threatening. I've heard stories from nurses about serious reactions, and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced or witnessed issues with this drug. What safety protocols should be in place? What are the signs to watch out for?
