Side Effects:

Even when the therapeutic dosage is administered, a transient hypercalcaemia can develop due to the calcium content. This conditions manifests itself as follow: Inital bradycardia, agitation, muscular tremors, salivation, increased respiratory rate.

The increase in the heart rate following initial bradycardia is to be taken as the sign of a beginning over-dosage. In this case, the infusion must be stopped. Delayed side effects may occur in the form of disorders of the general condition and with symptoms of hypercalcaemia even 6-10 hours after the infusion. They should not be incorrectly diagnosed as a recurrent hypocalcaemia.
