Calcium is an essential mineral and electrolyte commonly classified therapeutically as an electrolyte replacement or mineral supplement, typically formulated as oral or intravenous calcium salts.
It functions by restoring circulating and intracellular calcium ion levels, which are critical for bone mineralization, neuromuscular transmission, cardiac electrophysiology and contractility, vascular tone, and enzyme activation.
In clinical practice, therapeutic calcium agents are primarily indicated for the prevention and management of hypocalcemia, the treatment of metabolic bone disorders such as osteoporosis, osteomalacia, and rickets, and acute stabilization of cardiac membranes in severe hyperkalemia or hypermagnesemia.
Certain salts also serve targeted functions, such as acting as dietary phosphate binders in end-stage renal disease or neutralizing gastric acid.
