Calcium carbonate is used as a dietary supplement to maintain calcium homeostasis. It forms insoluble complexes with dietary phosphate and also neutralizes gastric acidity. It is used to treat the following conditions:
-
It is used for the treatment of heartburn, indigestion, sour stomach, and gastrointestinal upset associated with these symptoms.
-
As a dietary supplement in patients with inadequate calcium intake, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, and rickets.
-
It is also used as an off-label medicine to treat hyperphosphatemia in patients with kidney disease and for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism.
Adult dose:
Note: 1 gm of calcium carbonate = 400 mg of elemental calcium.

- Gastrointestinal effects:
-
- Hypercalcemia:
- Patients who consume excessive amounts of calcium carbonate over a prolonged period of time may experience acute and progressive hypercalcemia, which can lead to seizures and cardiac arrhythmias.
- A chronic elevation in calcium levels can lead to generalized vascular or soft-tissuecalcification, which may eventually lead to nephrolithiasis.
- Hypercalcemia has been linked to an increase in mortality among patients with chronic kidney disease.
- Concomitant medications like thiazide diuretics may increase the risk of hypercalcemia.
- Hypercalcemia:
-
- Achlorhydria:
- Patients suffering from achlorhydria have lower calcium absorption.
- You should administer it with food, or use alternative agents.
- Achlorhydria:
-
- Chronic kidney disease
- Patients suffering from CKD should be given other phosphate binders such as sevelamer and lanthanum, especially if their serum calcium levels are high or normal.
- non-calcium based phosphate binders are thought to reduce cardiovascular mortality in patients with CKD compared to calcium acetate and calcium carbonate.
- Chronic kidney disease
-
- Hypoparathyroidism:
- Hypoparathyroid patients receiving high doses of vitamin D may develop hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria.
- Hypoparathyroidism:
-
- Kidney stones
- Calcium supplements should be used with caution for patients with kidney stones.
- Kidney stones
-
- Insufficiency of the renal system:

How to administer Calcium Carbonate?
It is administered orally with food. If more than 600 mg of elemental calcium per day is required, the dose should be administered in divided doses.
Mechanism of action of Calcium Carbonate:
Calcium carbonate can be used as a dietary supplement to maintain osteoporosis's negative calcium balance and prevent or reduce bone loss. It's also important for the optimal function of nerve, muscle and cardiac functions. It can also be used to treat hyperphosphatemia, combining it with phosphate to form insoluble compounds in patients with chronic renal disease.
It can also be used as an anti-antacid to neutralize gastric acidity, inhibit the proteolytic activity by pepsin, and increase the lower esophageal tone. It is only minimally absorbedIf high doses of vitamin D are not given, it is unlikely that the patient will be able to absorb them. The duodenum is the main site of absorption.
Vitamin D levels and patient age are also important factors. Pregnancy doubles the rate of absorption. Calcium isabsorbedIn an ionized and acidic form.AbsorptionPatients with achlorhydria and renal osteodystrophy, Steatorrhea, and Uremia have a decreased risk It isdistributedIt is found mainly in the bones and teeth, and is 40%protein-boundIt is mainly due to albumin. It is excreted primarily from the feces.
