In gynecology, calcium gluconate may be prescribed for several reasons:
Osteoporosis: Women, especially post-menopausal, are at higher risk for osteoporosis, a condition where bones become weak and brittle. Calcium gluconate helps in maintaining bone density. Hypocalcemia: This is a condition characterized by low levels of calcium in the blood. It can occur during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Preeclampsia: Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to other organ systems. Calcium supplementation has been shown to reduce the risk of preeclampsia.
