Pricing

A drug doesn't have one price. Each row is a different public payment system, and none is what you'd pay at the counter — that depends on your insurance. The ⓘ on each row explains what it measures.

Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Administer Calcium Chloride Injection by slow intravenous infusion (not to exceed 1 mL/minute), in a central or deep vein. ( 2.1 ) Do not use intramuscularly or subcutaneously. ( 2.1 ) Do not administer unless solution is clear and seal is intact.

( 2.1 ) Stop the administration if the patient complains of any administration- related discomfort, it may be resumed when symptoms disappear. ( 2. 1) The recommended adult dose is from 200 mg to 1,000 mg.

( 2. 2) The recommended pediatric dose is from 2.7 to 5 mg/kg of calcium chloride. ( 2.2 ) Repeated injections may be required because of rapid calcium excretion.

( 2.2 ) See the full prescribing information for the recommended starting dose in patients with renal impairment. ( 2.3 ) Do not mix Calcium Chloride Injection with ceftriaxone or administer these products simultaneously via a Y-site because concurrent use can lead to the formation of ceftriaxone-calcium precipitates. ( 2.4 )

2.1Important Administration Instructions Administer Calcium Chloride Injection by slow intravenous infusion in a central or deep vein in adults and pediatric patients (with or without renal impairment); do not administer by bolus [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 , 5.4 )] . The maximum recommended infusion rate is 1 mL/minute (100 mg/minute). Additional important administration instructions regarding Calcium Chloride Injection are as follows: Do not use intramuscularly or subcutaneously to avoid tissue necrosis calcinosis cutis [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] .

Visually inspect for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration (the solution is clear, and the seal is intact). Do not administer if the solution is unclear or the seal is not intact. Stop the administration if the patient complains of any administration-related discomfort; administration may be resumed when symptoms disappear.

Discard the unused portion. If time permits, allow the solution to warm to body temperature.

2.2Recommended Dosage and Administration The recommended dose range of Calcium Chloride Injection in: Adults is from 200 mg to 1,000 mg. Pediatric patients is from 2.7 to 5 mg/kg of calcium chloride. Dosing of this Calcium Chloride Injection product is not possible in patients who require doses less than 200 mg because the recommended dose cannot be achieved with the supplied vial.

For patients who require doses less than 200 mg, use another calcium chloride injection product that allows dosing of less than 200 mg. Individualize the dose for a patient within these dose ranges depending on serum ionized calcium level, severity of hypocalcemia symptoms, and the acuity of hypocalcemia onset. Repeated injections may be required because of rapid excretion of calcium.

2.3Recommended Starting Dose in Patients with Renal Impairment The recommended starting dose of Calcium Chloride Injection in [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.6) ] : Adults with renal impairment is 200 mg. Pediatric patients is 2.7 mg/kg of calcium chloride.

2.4Drug Incompatibilities Do not mix Calcium Chloride Injection with other drugs simultaneously. Do not mix Calcium Chloride Injection with ceftriaxone or administer these products simultaneously via a Y-site because concurrent use can lead to the formation of ceftriaxone-calcium precipitates [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )]: In neonates (28 days of age or younger), concomitant use of Calcium Chloride Injection and ceftriaxone is contraindicated [see Contraindications ( 4 )] . In patients older than 28 days of age, ceftriaxone and calcium-containing products may be administered sequentially, provided the infusion lines are thoroughly flushed between infusions with a compatible fluid.

Calcium Chloride Injection is contraindicated in: Patients with ventricular fibrillation.

( 4 ) Patients with asystole and electromechanical dissociation. ( 4 ) Newborns (up to 28 days of age) if they require (or are expected to require) ceftriaxone intravenous treatment, regardless of whether these products would be received at different times or through separate intravenous lines ( 4 , 5.1 )] .

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ~3 min read ▾

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS End-Organ Damage due to Intravascular Ceftriaxone-Calcium Precipitates: Calcium Chloride Injection is contraindicated in newborns (up to 28 days of age) if they require (or are expected to require) ceftriaxone intravenous treatment. In patients older than 28 days of age, do not mix or administer simultaneously with ceftriaxone intravenous solutions, even via different infusion lines or at different infusion sites as it can lead to precipitation of ceftriaxone-calcium. ( 5.1 ) Hypotension, Bradycardia, Arrhythmias, and Syncope with Rapid Administration: Too rapid an injection exceeding 1 mL/minute may lead to hypotension and syncope.

( 2.1 , 5.2 ) Arrhythmias with Concomitant Digoxin Use: Avoid use of Calcium Chloride Injection in patients receiving digoxin. Closely monitor ECG and calcium levels if concomitant therapy is necessary. ( 5.3 , 7.1 ) Tissue Necrosis and Calcinosis: Administer Calcium Chloride Injection slowly through a small needle into a large vein to minimize the risk of tissue necrosis, ulceration and calcinosis.

Avoid extravasation or accidental injection into perivascular tissues. Immediately discontinue administration should perivascular infiltration occur. ( 2.1 , 5.4 ) Aluminum Toxicity: Risk of toxicity with prolonged administration if kidney function is impaired.

Premature neonates are particularly at risk. When prescribing Calcium Chloride Injection in patients receiving parenteral nutrition solutions, limit the total daily patient exposure to aluminum to no more than 5 mcg/kg/day. ( 5.5 )

5.1End-Organ Damage due to Intravascular Ceftriaxone-Calcium Precipitates The use of Calcium Chloride Injection is contraindicated in newborns (up to 28 days of age) if they require (or are expected to require) ceftriaxone intravenous treatment because of the risk of precipitation of ceftriaxone-calcium, regardless of whether these products would be received at different times or through separate intravenous lines [see Contraindications (4)]. Cases of fatal reactions with calcium-ceftriaxone precipitates in lungs and kidneys in premature and full-term newborns aged less than 1 month have occurred when ceftriaxone and calcium were administered either simultaneously or non-simultaneously and through different intravenous lines.

In-vitro studies demonstrated that neonates have an increased risk of precipitation of ceftriaxone-calcium compared to other age groups. In patients older than 28 days of age, Calcium Chloride Injection and ceftriaxone intravenous solutions may be administered sequentially one after another if infusion lines at different sites are used, infusion lines are replaced, or infusion lines are thoroughly flushed between infusions with physiological salt solution to avoid precipitation. Do not mix or administer Calcium Chloride Injection simultaneously with ceftriaxone, even if using different infusion lines or different infusion sites as it can lead to precipitation of ceftriaxone-calcium [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 )] .

5.2Hypotension, Bradycardia, Arrhythmias, and Syncope with Rapid Administration Rapid injection of Calcium Chloride Injection may cause vasodilation, decreased blood pressure, bradycardia, arrhythmias, syncope, and cardiac arrest. It is particularly important to prevent a high concentration of calcium from reaching the heart because of the risk of syncope. Too rapid an injection exceeding 1 mL/minute may lead to hypotension and cardiac syncope [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 )].

5.3Arrhythmias with Concomitant Digoxin Use Arrhythmias may occur if Calcium Chloride Injection and digoxin are administered together. Hypercalcemia resulting from an overdose of Calcium Chloride Injection increases the risk of digoxin toxicity. Avoid the use of Calcium Chloride Injection in patients receiving digoxin. If concomitant therapy is necessary, closely monitor ECG and calcium levels [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1 )] .

👥 Use in Specific Populations ~3 min read ▾

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Administration of Calcium Chloride Injection for the treatment of acute symptomatic hypocalcemia during pregnancy is not expected to cause major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are risks to the mother and the fetus associated with development of hypocalcemia during pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations). Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Calcium Chloride Injection.

The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations are unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.

Clinical Considerations Disease-associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal/Neonatal Risk Maternal hypocalcemia can result in an increased rate of spontaneous abortion, premature and dysfunctional labor, and possibly preeclampsia. Infants born to mothers with hypocalcemia can develop fetal and neonatal hyperparathyroidism, which in turn can cause fetal and neonatal skeletal demineralization, subperiosteal bone resorption, osteitis fibrosa cystica and neonatal seizures.

8.2Lactation Risk Summary Calcium is present in human milk. Administration of the approved recommended dose of Calcium Chloride Injection to the mother is not expected to cause harm to a breastfed infant. There is no information on the effects of Calcium Chloride Injection on the breastfed infant or on milk production.

The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for Calcium Chloride Injection and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from Calcium Chloride Injection or from the underlying maternal condition.

8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of Calcium Chloride Injection for the treatment of acute symptomatic hypocalcemia have been established in pediatric patients. The use of Calcium Chloride Injection is contraindicated in newborns if they require (or are expected to require) ceftriaxone intravenous treatment because of the risk of precipitation of ceftriaxone-calcium, regardless of whether these products would be received at different times or through separate intravenous lines [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )].

In pediatric patients older than 28 days of age, Calcium Chloride Injection and ceftriaxone intravenous solutions may be administered sequentially one after another if infusion lines at different sites are used, infusion lines are replaced, or infusion lines are thoroughly flushed between infusions with physiological salt solution to avoid precipitation. Do not mix or administer Calcium Chloride Injection simultaneously with ceftriaxone, even if using different infusion lines or different infusion sites as it can lead to precipitation of ceftriaxone-calcium.

Calcium Chloride Injection contains aluminum that may be associated with central nervous system and bone toxicity. Because of immature renal function, preterm infants receiving prolonged parenteral nutrition treatment with Calcium Chloride Injection may be at higher risk of aluminum toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )].

8.5Geriatric Use Clinical studies of Calcium Chloride Injection did not include sufficient numbers of patients 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients.

8.6Renal Impairment The use of Calcium Chloride Injection in patients with renal impairment may increase the risk of a higher calcium-phosphorus product. For patients with renal impairment, initiate Calcium Chloride Injection at the lowest recommended dose within the recommended dose range [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 )] . Monitor serum calcium levels frequently based on the se… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

8.5Geriatric Use Clinical studies of Calcium Chloride Injection did not include sufficient numbers of patients 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients.

🆘 Overdosage 105 words ▾

10 OVERDOSAGE Overdosage of Calcium Chloride Injection may lead to hypercalcemia. Symptoms of hypercalcemia typically develop when the total serum calcium concentration is ≥12 mg/dL, and include shortening of QT interval, bradycardia, hypertension, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, bowel hypomotility and constipation, muscle weakness, bone pain, decreased concentration, depression, weakness, fatigue, confusion, hallucinations, disorientation, hypotonicity, seizures, and coma. Hypercalcemia effects on kidney include diminished ability to concentrate urine and diuresis.

In the event of overdosage, promptly discontinue Calcium Chloride Injection, the patient should be re- evaluated and appropriate countermeasures should be instituted, if necessary [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5 ), Adverse Reactions ( 6 )] .

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology 190 words ▾

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action Intravenous administration of calcium chloride increases serum ionized calcium concentration. Calcium chloride dissociates into ionized calcium in plasma.

12.2Pharmacodynamics The exposure-response relationship and time course of pharmacodynamic response for the safety and effectiveness of Calcium Chloride Injection have not been fully characterized.

12.3Pharmacokinetics Absorption Calcium Chloride Injection is 100% bioavailable following intravenous injection. Distribution Calcium in the body is distributed mainly in skeleton (99%) and 1% is distributed within the extracellular fluids and soft tissues. About 50% of total serum calcium is in the ionized form and represents the biologically active part; 8% to 10% serum calcium is bound to organic and inorganic acid, respectively; and approximately 40% is protein-bound (primarily to albumin).

Elimination Metabolism Calcium itself does not undergo direct metabolism. Excretion Calcium is excreted by the kidney through a combination of glomerular filtration and tubular reabsorption. A significant increase in urinary excretion of calcium was observed during and after intravenous infusion of calcium chloride.

Specific Populations The effect of age, sex, race, ethnicity, renal or hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of calcium have not been evaluated in clinical studies.

Medicaid utilization & spend

📍 This exact package only: Medicaid data is reported per full 11-digit NDC — labeler, product and pack size — so every number here is for this package alone, not the drug overall. Other pack sizes report separately.
💊 Pharmacy benefit only: These are Medicaid outpatient pharmacy claims, billed by NDC. They exclude the medical benefit — clinic- or hospital-administered drugs billed under HCPCS J-codes — so drugs used mostly that way (e.g. Avastin, Lucentis, Keytruda) can look low or missing here. That’s expected, not an error.

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The form printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed is the one the FDA registered. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero and the dashes are dropped. The Identity section at the top of this page lists each form of this code.
Is this package still being marketed?
Yes, per the latest FDA NDC Directory data on this page: this package is listed as actively marketed, with no marketing end date reported by American Regent, Inc.. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
American Regent, Inc. is the labeler of record for this NDC — the company under whose FDA-assigned code the package is listed. The labeler may be the manufacturer itself or a distributor marketing the product under its own code.
Do I need a prescription for this product?
This NDC is listed with FDA as a prescription product, so it is dispensed under a prescriber's order. Your pharmacist can tell you whether any over-the-counter forms of the same medication exist.
This page identifies an FDA-listed package (the NDC) and reports public regulatory and pricing data about the listing. It is reference information, not a medical recommendation — talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about your own medication.
Where does this data come from?
Listing facts (marketing category, packager status, marketing dates) from the FDA openFDA NDC Directory; label availability from DailyMed; pricing coverage from CMS NADAC; equivalence scope from the FDA Orange Book.
