Product Introduction
Nelcium 100mg injection contains the active component nelcium 100mg. This medicine belongs to a group of mineral salts. It is used to raise blood calcium levels in the body and to restore normal cardiac function during cardiac arrest when potassium levels are extremely elevated.
Inform your doctor if you have an allergy to calcium salts or any ingredients in this preparation, heart problems, kidney problems that result in low calcium levels, excess calcium in blood or urine, breathing problems, or dangerously fast heartbeat (ventricular fibrillation), high levels of vitamin D (sarcoidosis), and kidney stones. Consult your doctor if you experience breathing problems or a dangerously fast heartbeat (ventricular fibrillation). This medicine is not recommended for treating asystole (cessation of heart pumping) and electromechanical dissociation (pulseless electrical activity of the heart).
Inform your doctor if you develop local burning sensation and symptoms of low blood pressure (dizziness, weakness, nausea, or blurred vision) as this medicine may cause a drop in blood pressure levels. Consult your doctor if you are planning pregnancy, think you may be pregnant, or are breastfeeding. Elderly patients with liver, kidney, and heart problems should exercise caution while taking this medicine.

How it works
