About Gretacal Injection
Gretacal Injection is a mineral supplement used to treat acute symptomatic hypocalcaemia (low calcium levels in the blood). It also helps restore electrolytes in conditions such as rickets (weak and soft bones in children), osteomalacia (weak and soft bones in adults), and neuromuscular weakness (muscle weakness caused by nerve problems). Hypocalcaemia is a condition in which the calcium levels in the blood are lower than normal.
Gretacal Injection contains Calcium gluconate and Calcium lactobionate. It works by increasing calcium levels in the blood, thus providing the essential minerals necessary for maintaining and strengthening bones.
A trained healthcare professional will administer Gretacal Injection, so do not self-administer it. You may sometimes experience side effects such as tiredness, vomiting, nausea, pain, swelling, or redness at the injection site. Most of these side effects will gradually resolve over time without requiring medical attention. However, if these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
