Product Introduction
Gretacal Injection 10ml contains Chlorhexidine Gluconate and Calcium Lactobionate as active ingredients. Chlorhexidine Gluconate is a broad-spectrum antiseptic effective against a range of bacteria and fungi. Calcium Lactobionate supports tissue repair by replenishing essential calcium ions, which are important for cellular function and healing.
Gretacal Injection 10ml is indicated for prevention of infection in minor cuts, wounds, burns, and surgical sites. It is also used in pre-surgical skin preparation and to support wound healing in dental and surgical applications. The combination provides antimicrobial protection whilst promoting tissue regeneration and recovery.
Do not use Gretacal Injection if you are allergic to Chlorhexidine or any other ingredient in this product. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have a history of renal impairment, as caution should be exercised when administering Calcium Lactobionate in such cases. Avoid using Gretacal Injection 10ml in combination with anionic surfactants, as they may reduce the efficacy of Chlorhexidine.
Mild skin irritation, burning sensation, or gastrointestinal discomfort may occur; inform your healthcare provider if these symptoms develop. Severe reactions, including difficulty breathing or swelling of the face or throat, require discontinuation of use and emergency medical attention.

How it works
Gretacal Injection 10ml works by disrupting the bacterial cell membrane through Chlorhexidine, causing leakage of cellular contents and leading to cell death. Chlorhexidine binds to negatively charged bacterial cell walls, inhibiting enzyme activity and disrupting the osmotic balance. Calcium Lactobionate supports the process by providing bioavailable calcium ions, which are crucial for cellular function, tissue repair, and bone strength. Together, these components create a synergistic effect that prevents microbial growth and promotes faster healing.
How to Use
Gretacal Injection 10ml is administered intravenously for the treatment of calcium deficiency and to provide antimicrobial protection. The dosage is adjusted based on the patient's specific needs, with healthcare providers monitoring calcium levels during administration to ensure safety and effectiveness. Do not self-administer; always consult a healthcare provider for proper usage.

Expert Tips
