Feature and Benefits
 
Calcium is indispensible not only for the formation and growth of bones, but also for the normal functioning of both neuromuscular system and heart, blood clotting and for many other processes. Calcium deficiency causes increased neuromuscular sensitivity which may lead to tetany.
When applied parenterally Calcium stimulates the heart functioning and entire blood circulation. By reducing the permeability of cells and blood vessels it reduces extravasation and favorably influences allergic and toxic conditions and inflammatory processes in the skin and mucous membranes. By reducing neuromuscular sensitivity Calcium also removes tetanic symptoms.
samu COP injection, a calcium-combination therapy, has Ca-Gluconate which is not stimulative and safe as a main ingredient. This product is a sterile aqueous solution prescribed to treat Calcium deficiency. And being reinforced with Phosphorus, Magnesium, and Dextrose, it has outstanding efficacy on hypomagnesemia, hypophosphatemia, and also on carbohydrate-supply.
